Eittem for Dropshop, Curated by Phillips

Created for Dropshop, Curated by Phillips, the Singularity Timepiece Case is a sculptural object that functions equally as a watch box and a work of artistic, collectible design. Singularity draws its shape from one of the most enigmatic phenomena in physics: the black hole, where gravity becomes so powerful that space and time are profoundly altered. A watch is an instrument of extraordinary precision, created to measure time. A singularity is its conceptual opposite, a realm where that familiar measure gives way to something less certain. 

Carved from salvaged Eastern Black Walnut, the case translates an otherwise imperceptible phenomenon into physical form. The material's solidity, grain, and permanence sit against the sense of quiet motion across its contours, holding mass and fluidity, order and uncertainty, in the same object. Within, six timepieces are held in measured succession, instruments created to define time, sheltered within an object inspired by the point at which time itself escapes conventional measure.
