One of the late 20th century’s most distinctive watch designs comes from the design-led brand Ikepod, founded by Marc Newson. Today we speak with the current owner and custodian of this cult brand, Christian-Louis Col. Col talks about Ikepod's history, and significance as a concept watch, as well as how it became of the first ‘it’ watches of the silicon valley set. We also chat about his future plans for the brand, and how Kanye West wearing a gold Ikepod on the cover of GQ wasn’t a viral marketing dream come true.
