tube watch ø 42mm brass

The "Tube Watch" by Piet Hein Eek is part of a series where pipe material is the fundamental design element. The inner toothed, extruded metal ring serves as the dial, forming a unit with the case. The precise craftsmanship, brushed material, and industrial character of the wristwatch draw attention.
In dealing with materials, both old and new, contemporary designer Piet Hein Eek has found his guiding principle. Especially in furniture design, the Dutchman has made a name for himself: refurbishing old furniture is not a new idea, but developing modern design from bulky waste goes far beyond re- and upcycling - a sensitive approach to functional design.
