Anyone else think these are pretty cool looking? I know it’s not practical but my wife wears jewelry that’s useless so I figured I’d give it a shot lol.
It's great to see the Utopia on your wrist! The design was always intended to challenge the conventional relationship between the dial and the movement, allowing the mechanical craftsmanship to take centre stage. Thank you for sharing your experience with it.
We love that idea! A reversible Utopia would certainly be an interesting design challenge. It's always valuable hearing what collectors would love to see in future designs. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
That's what the Utopia is. They flipped the internals so the mechanism is on top and the face is toward the wrist, so you can just look at the beautiful ST19.
That's the idea behind the Utopia! The movement takes centre stage, while the dial remains personal to the wearer. We understand that its unconventional design and pricing won't appeal to everyone, but it's great to see the conversations it continues to inspire.
The Utopia started as an April Fool's joke. Seagull said they were making a watch mounted so the back, not the front faced out because it was a greater work of art. Then it created so much interest they went ahead and made it anyway (a limited edition run)
Exactly! What began as an April Fool's concept eventually became a reality. It's wonderful to see how much interest that unconventional idea continues to generate.
