Bikupta Wristwatch, Alexander Lervik
This analog watch by the Stockholm–based design studio keeps time with a Japanese quartz that vibrates through an electric charge. The metal clock face is accentuated by hexagon cutouts that give it a beehive-patterned facade. Available in bronze, stainless steel, and black plating for the watch’s face, its leather band also comes in a variety of colors. lervik.se
