AÃRK Collective Tortoise Watch Black

The art of minimalist design is the backbone of the Classic. It’s easy, refined and plays around with colour to offer each wearer a character that best represents them. Perfectly balanced in design and function, this watch is a true representation of AÃRK.

The Classic’s outer shell is made from the most durable PU plastic, while an internal stainless steel case protects the precise Japanese Quartz movement from water damage and the shock of hard knocks. On top of custom-moulded parts that are exclusive to AÃRK, its unique look comes courtesy of an independent second hand, while matte satin finishing on both the case and the band makes the Classic soft to the touch and really comfortable to wear.

About AÃRK Collective

AÃRK Collective are a team of four Melbourne-based creatives linked by family and a love of design. With diverse influences, they share a desire to make objects that are lasting and unique. Focusing on simple forms and tiny details, AÃRK Collective timepieces are inspired by the challenge of balancing function and beauty in a wearable design. Most of all they love sharing their work with like minded people.

The AÃRK Collective approach to design is considered and organic. Geometry and playful detail inform their aesthetic but each AÃRK design is underpinned by an uncomplicated love of minimalism. The AÃRK brand is expressed across their collections, and in each watch’s originality, simplicity and refined detail. From precision Swiss and Japanese movements to hand dipped casings and soft Horween Leather straps, the highest quality components are chosen and customised for each AÃRK  timepiece.

Combining the values of traditional craftsmanship with the best contemporary manufacturing techniques, each AÃRK watch is made with care, to last. Quality is often tied to beauty but just as much thought is put into the parts you’ll never see.
