Vintage and neo-vintage Ikepod watches are beginning to garner more attention from the collector community and for good reason. The Swiss brand is most known for its round "pod" case shapes which resemble UFOs, stand out for being incredibly unique, imaginative and playful. Designer Marc Newson who co-founded the company in 1994 left a distinct brand identity. Analyzing Ikepod, one can easily draw parallels with the Apple Watch; another Newson design which was arguably his most successful and a product that went on to become the top selling wrist watch in history.

This Weekplannier, circa 2000s is one of our favorite Ikepod designs particularly for its moonphase complication which ties well to its outer space design aesthetic. This piece also displays a date, week and month on its blue/grey dial and outer track. Offered in excellent condition, this piece makes for a fantastic and off the beaten path to a collection of any level.
