ce Jewelers has teamed up with renowned watch brand Ikepod, enigmatic street artist Laser 3.14, and designer ABC for a collaboration, the Megapod This Is Our Time. This limited-edition timepiece merges urban art with Ikepod’s bold, futuristic design ethos. With only 30 pieces available, each individually numbered (XX/30), this unique collaboration is set to appeal to watch enthusiasts, art connoisseurs, fashion lovers, and anyone who appreciates the fusion of street art with modern craftsmanship.

The Megapod This Is Our Time is the result of a creative collaboration that brings Laser 3.14’s iconic street art into the world of horology. The defining feature of the watch is the phrase This Is Our Time, printed in Laser 3.14’s signature graffiti style on the dial. Additionally, the Laser 3.14 tag is printed inside the crystal at 12:00, boldly overlapping the Ikepod logo as though it were sprayed-over, adding an unprecedented street-art flair. This creative touch transforms the timepiece into a wearable canvas, drawing inspiration from Laser 3.14’s provocative and poetic graffiti seen throughout the streets of Amsterdam.

Known for challenging societal norms, Laser 3.14’s work infuses the collaboration with philosophical depth and artistic expression. Despite his global recognition, his identity remains shrouded in mystery, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this already compelling design. Packaged in a custom sleeve designed by Laser 3.14 and ABC, the watch extends its artistic value beyond the wrist, making it a must-have collector’s piece.

The 46mm stainless steel case of the Megapod embodies Ikepod’s minimalist, futuristic design philosophy, taking inspiration from the original Megapod launched in 1997. Known for its pebble-like shape and seamless strap integration, this revival demonstrates Ikepod’s ability to merge design innovation with contemporary aesthetics. Inside the case is a robust Miyota 9039 automatic movement. Paired with a sleek black silicone strap and fitted with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the Megapod offers a balance between bold design and everyday wearability. With water resistance up to 5ATM, it serves as both a statement piece and a practical daily watch.

Alon Ben Joseph, co-owner of Ace Jewelers, shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “I’ve followed Laser 3.14 for years. His thought-provoking street art speaks to me on a personal level. When I finally reached out to him, we clicked immediately, and together with ABC, we developed the idea of This Is Our Time. When we brought the idea to Ikepod, Christian-Louis Col was instantly supportive of the collaboration. It’s been a pleasure to work with such creative minds.”

Laser 3.14 added: “I’ve always been intrigued by how my poetry could take on new forms, and this collaboration gave me the chance to explore that. Seeing my words printed inside the crystal of a watch was an exciting new way to bring my art to life. I love how it combines the world of street art with fine watchmaking, blending both worlds seamlessly.”

ABC, known for his bold design approach, stated: “This Is Our Time is a message that unites; it means we are part of a collective. A rallying cry that not only motivates but also underlines the necessity to make moves and own the here and now.”

Christian-Louis Col, owner of Ikepod, reflected on the project: “Ikepod has a long history of working with artists, and this project is a perfect fit for us. Alon’s passion for art-driven collaborations and the unique artistic vision of Laser 3.14 and ABC made this an exciting partnership. The Megapod blends our brand’s commitment to bold, modern design with artistic expression, resulting in a timepiece that is truly one of a kind.”

With only 30 pieces available, each individually numbered (XX/30), the Megapod This Is Our Time is poised to become a sought-after collector’s item. The watch is available at Ace Jewelers’ online store at AceJewelers.com, at the Ace & Dik boutique in Amsterdam, and through Ikepod.com, priced at EUR 1,400 incl. VAT / EUR 1,157 excl. VAT.

Laser 3.14 is one of Amsterdam’s most prolific and enigmatic street artists, known for his unique blend of poetic graffiti that explores themes of politics, society, and the human condition. His work has been exhibited at prestigious institutions, including the Den Haag Museum and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and he is part of the permanent collection at the Amsterdam Museum. Laser 3.14’s contributions to global dialogue on stability and peace earned him the PAX Peace Prize, further solidifying his influence beyond street art.

Despite his global recognition, Laser 3.14 has managed to keep his true identity a mystery, enhancing the intrigue around his work. He has also collaborated with top fashion and lifestyle brands such as Denham, Nike, Lane Crawford, and Tommy Hilfiger, bringing his raw urban art to a broader audience while staying true to his underground roots.
