AVI-8 Reconnects With Inkdial For a Limited-Edition Hawker Hurricane Chronograph

by

As an ardent collector of unique timepieces and a connoisseur of the intersection between art and horology, this AVI-8 x Inkdial Hawker Hurricane Chronograph Limited Edition has truly caught my eye! The intricate blueprint design, reminiscent of Ben Li’s signature style, is a stunning fusion of 2D and 3D elements that creates an interesting visual dance.

In collaboration with watch designer and artist, Ben Li (also known as Inkdial), AVI-8 has reinvented the look of its Hawker Hurricane Chronograph, featuring an eye-catching design reminiscent of technical blueprints.

This exclusive watch model showcases Inkdial’s technical sketches on a physical timepiece, giving AVI-8’s classic design a unique grid pattern and artistic flourishes. The 43mm stainless steel case houses each detail, including the hands, dial, and strap, embodying the artist’s distinctive style.

The design offers a captivating blend of 2D and 3D aspects, with sketched lines that have been treated with lume. This means the watch maintains its unique charm even in dim conditions. The luminous feature is mirrored on the caseback and the extra-luminous nylon strap too.

Rather than merely serving as a clock, this valuable collector’s piece is an homage to the harmonious blend of artistry and watchmaking craftsmanship. Each timepiece comes with a booklet outlining Inkdial’s design journey, a cleaning cloth featuring his artwork, and a UV lamp to elevate the unwrapping experience.

Only 400 units of the exclusive AVI-8 Hawker Hurricane Inkdial Chronograph Limited Edition are up for grabs, and you can get yours directly from their official website at a price point of $295 USD.
