{"title":"Anicorn","description":"\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnicorn: where Hong Kong watchmaking meets pop culture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep into the world of \u003cstrong\u003eAnicorn\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Hong Kong watch house that turned the wristwatch into a graphic playground rather than yet another exercise in conventional styling. Founded in 2014 inside a design studio, the brand built its reputation on one simple, radical idea: a watch is not merely an instrument for measuring time, it is a cultural object, a storytelling device, a collectible on a par with a rare sneaker or a limited-run figure. Every Anicorn release works like a \u003cstrong\u003edrop\u003c\/strong\u003e: numbered quantities, packaging designed as an experience, collaborations with institutions and artists you would never expect to see in watchmaking. NASA, Kojima Productions, Daniel Arsham, Philip Colbert, Staple Pigeon, M\/M Paris and, most recently, PlayStation: Anicorn's partner list reads more like a streetwear label's than a traditional watchmaker's, and that is precisely the point. At MTHOR, we curate these pieces for collectors who want something on their wrist other than one more watch, and every single example is \u003cstrong\u003eauthenticated by our team of experts\u003c\/strong\u003e before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe story behind a one-of-a-kind brand: Joe Kwan and the birth of Anicorn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnicorn was founded in \u003cstrong\u003e2014 in Hong Kong\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eJoe Kwan\u003c\/strong\u003e, a trained graphic designer. The starting point had nothing to do with watchmaking: Kwan was working as a designer for clients, a routine he found frustrating, and he wanted to prove that his creations had value in their own right. The watch quickly emerged as the ideal format — a tiny, tightly constrained object where every millimetre counts and where a strong graphic idea is instantly visible. Where a classic watchmaker starts with a movement and builds a dial around it, Anicorn starts with a \u003cstrong\u003evisual concept\u003c\/strong\u003e and engineers the mechanics to serve it. That reversal explains the highly distinctive look of the house's watches: dials that read like posters, indices that vanish, concentric discs rotating where you expected hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turning point came in 2018, when the brand signed an anniversary piece with \u003cstrong\u003eNASA\u003c\/strong\u003e to mark 60 years of the American space agency. For a four-year-old Hong Kong upstart, securing the licence to one of the most recognisable logos on the planet was a genuine coup — and it moved Anicorn from designer curiosity to a name followed by collectors worldwide. Next came the \u003cstrong\u003eMars Mission\u003c\/strong\u003e series, then collaborations with \u003cstrong\u003eHideo Kojima\u003c\/strong\u003e's studio (Kojima Productions), with artist \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Arsham\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Colbert\u003c\/strong\u003e and his pop lobster, with Paris-based studio \u003cstrong\u003eM\/M Paris\u003c\/strong\u003e for the “2BUSY” piece, and with New York label \u003cstrong\u003eStaple Pigeon\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each project is treated as a complete editorial object, often accompanied by lifestyle products, bespoke packaging and staging that reaches far beyond the watch itself. It is this approach — watchmaking told in the language of streetwear — that has given Anicorn a unique position at the crossroads of product design, contemporary art and geek culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA technical signature: how do you read an Anicorn watch?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets Anicorn apart is the way it \u003cstrong\u003edeconstructs the reading of time\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cstrong\u003eSeries 000\u003c\/strong\u003e, the house's first icon, replaces the usual hand-and-index pairing with concentric dials reminiscent of a speedometer stripped of its needle: the information rotates, and the eye learns a new language. The \u003cstrong\u003eTrio of Time\u003c\/strong\u003e collection pushes the idea further still, swapping numerals for motifs — tiny clock hands, stacked dots, or a gradient disc with the figures printed directly onto the crystal. The \u003cstrong\u003eSeries K452\u003c\/strong\u003e, meanwhile, draws on potentially habitable exoplanets: the Luna and Nemesis variants translate planetary landscapes into dial textures, wrapped around an automatic movement visible through the caseback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanically, Anicorn favours reliable, proven Japanese calibres over the race for complications. \u003cstrong\u003eMiyota\u003c\/strong\u003e movements appear regularly — the automatic 9039 on the higher-end mechanical pieces, with roughly 42 hours of power reserve, or the 2035 quartz on more accessible models. Three concrete benefits follow: \u003cstrong\u003eeveryday reliability\u003c\/strong\u003e, with straightforward servicing and a parts network available worldwide; an \u003cstrong\u003eunbeatable value-to-design ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e, because the budget goes into finishing, case construction and packaging rather than decorative mechanics; and \u003cstrong\u003egenuine durability\u003c\/strong\u003e, with 316L stainless steel cases, sapphire crystals and water resistance typically rated at 5 ATM (50 metres), more than enough for daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe collection's signature models and collaborations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Anicorn galaxy revolves around a handful of core families and a long run of collaborations that have become collector benchmarks. On the in-house side, the \u003cstrong\u003eSeries 000\u003c\/strong\u003e remains the founding piece, instantly recognisable by its concentric discs; the \u003cstrong\u003eSeries K452\u003c\/strong\u003e — with its \u003cstrong\u003eK452 Luna\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eK452 Nemesis\u003c\/strong\u003e variations — embodies the brand's automatic, space-facing side; the \u003cstrong\u003eTrio of Time\u003c\/strong\u003e line and \u003cstrong\u003eTime Flies\u003c\/strong\u003e-style models carry the most radical graphic minimalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the collaboration side, four families dominate the secondary market. The \u003cstrong\u003eAnicorn x NASA\u003c\/strong\u003e editions, starting with the 2018 \u003cstrong\u003e60th Anniversary Limited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eMars Mission\u003c\/strong\u003e series, are the most sought-after: they combine a rare institutional licence with very short production runs. The \u003cstrong\u003eKojima Productions x Anicorn\u003c\/strong\u003e projects, including the three-way \u003cstrong\u003eKojima Productions x NASA x Anicorn\u003c\/strong\u003e collaboration, crystallise the interest of video game collectors and Death Stranding fans. The artist pieces — \u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Arsham\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Colbert\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eM\/M Paris\u003c\/strong\u003e — speak to the contemporary art market as much as to the watch world. Finally, the \u003cstrong\u003eAnicorn x PlayStation\u003c\/strong\u003e collaboration closed out 2025 by celebrating three decades of Sony's console. It is now one of the most in-demand gateways into the brand, and you will find it in our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/playstation\"\u003ePlayStation collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAnicorn x PlayStation: the watch for the console's 30th anniversary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaunched in December 2025, the collaboration between Anicorn and \u003cstrong\u003ePlayStation\u003c\/strong\u003e pays tribute to the console that reshaped the video game industry in 1994. The centrepiece, \u003cstrong\u003eThe First PlayStation Limited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a \u003cstrong\u003enumbered limited-edition mechanical\u003c\/strong\u003e watch. Its \u003cstrong\u003e316L stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e case measures 42.8 × 48.0 mm and 11.8 mm thick, protected by a \u003cstrong\u003esapphire crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e and fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003edisplay caseback\u003c\/strong\u003e that reveals the automatic \u003cstrong\u003eMiyota 9039\u003c\/strong\u003e calibre and its roughly 42 hours of power reserve. Water resistance reaches \u003cstrong\u003e5 ATM (50 metres)\u003c\/strong\u003e and the strap is made from \u003cstrong\u003eFKM\u003c\/strong\u003e, a comfortable, hard-wearing technical material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire visual vocabulary of the original PlayStation is called up: the controller's four iconic symbols — \u003cstrong\u003etriangle, circle, cross and square\u003c\/strong\u003e — decorate the dial and the strap, while the hands echo the shape of the \u003cstrong\u003eStart\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSelect\u003c\/strong\u003e buttons. The crown, for its part, is engraved with the \u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e icon. The packaging takes the reference even further: the watch arrives in a \u003cstrong\u003escrewed metal case\u003c\/strong\u003e that channels the industrial charm of the era's hardware, together with a \u003cstrong\u003ePlayStation badge\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003eMemory Capsule fitted with an NFC chip\u003c\/strong\u003e — a direct nod to the original memory cards, under the motto “SAVE. LOAD. OVERWRITE.”. The collection also includes two quartz variants, \u003cstrong\u003ePlay Symbol Dark Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePlay Symbol Light Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e, powered by a Miyota 2035 calibre and recognisable by their oil-injected display in which the symbols appear to float.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy your Anicorn watch from MTHOR\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMTHOR Shop specialises in selling \u003cstrong\u003egenuine\u003c\/strong\u003e pieces.

The higher-end mechanical models, such as The First PlayStation Limited Edition, carry an \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic Miyota 9039\u003c\/strong\u003e with around 42 hours of power reserve. More accessible models rely on a \u003cstrong\u003eMiyota 2035 quartz\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The \u003cstrong\u003eThe First PlayStation Limited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 42.8 × 48.0 mm and 11.8 mm thick: it is a watch with real presence, ideal on wrists of 17 cm and above, though its contained thickness keeps it wearable every day.
