Get lost in time with the Ricochet watch.

Ricochet is inspired by the world of the pinball arcade and was designed for us by Ryan Claytor.

The three metallic robots, engrossed in the action of the pinball machine were each gilded by hand in a different metallic foil palladium, 20ct. citron gold and 22ct. rose gold).

The scoreboard of the game displays the hours and minutes.

This watch has a jump hour movement, so you'll need to watch closely to see the hour change - blink and you'll miss it!

Ricochet was a real labour of love to produce, each watch representing many hours of work.

Ryan Claytor

Ryan, who has a deep love for pinball, considers the links between the game and time:

“Pinball is essentially a game of timing: flip a fraction of a second too soon or too late and you'll miss your intended target.

In its more transcendent moments though, a game of pinball can almost mystically remove the player from any concept of time.

When engrossed in a game where shots are being hit, progress being made and previously locked achievements are realized, pinball has the capacity to transport the player out of time entirely.

Rest assured, though, that "Ricochet" will be a faithful temporal reminder once you resurface from this engrossing experience!”

Ryan Claytor is an award-winning American Comics Creator and professor at Michigan State University (MSU) where he teaches Comics Studio courses, heads the Comic Art and Graphic Novel interdisciplinary minor and directs the MSU Comics Forum.

Claytor creates non-fiction comics that, most recently, focus on the history of electro-mechanical coin-operated amusement devices (pinball and arcade games manufactured prior to the implementation of solid-state technology in 1978).

Additionally, he is the Host and Producer of the MSU Comic Art and Graphic Novel Podcast and designs custom neon signs.

The precious metal foils were applied by hand, cleaned and backed with a varnish for protection.

Each watch was then hand assembled before going through our strict quality control process.

Powered by your movement

Automatic mechanical

This means your watch has no battery, instead it's powered by the movement of your wrist!

If you don’t wear your watch for a while (24 - 48 hours), then the movement will run out of power and your watch will stop.

When this happens, you can manually wind it by turning the winding crown on the side of the watch clockwise (20-30 times) or just wear it to get it running again.
