re: cool

The Ikepod ONLY watch Hourglass is very cool, it's amazing that the red is a spray paint yet optically it doesn't appear that way. Even when you pick it up, it feels like regular glass. For those in L.A., it will return for a viewing, definitely worth seeing in person! -MW

Great interview

And I love that movie of them making the hourglass! I just have one question, will the "new" Ikepod service watches made by the brand under its previous ownership? S
