SEVENFRIDAY is used to being the rebel child in the world of watchmaking. Since 2012, they’ve redefined the traditional watch shape, partnered with artists, and gone crazy for color. SEVENFRIDAY has always been ahead of its time and embraced the future.
An ever-curious and innovative mindset led the SEVENFRIDAY team to abandon what they understand about watchmaking and embrace the future. The first FREE-D burst onto the market like a meteor, and its unique design, paired with the characteristics of the material, made it a crowd favorite. Now, the time has come for the FREE-D B.
The FREE-D B series’ appeal starts with the material’s sustainability and innovative nature. The PA11 & PA12 used to print the timepieces was consciously chosen due to its unique properties. The material may be new in the world of watches, but it has been tested, proven, and used for a while in the medical, aerospace, and racing sectors. The popularity of this polyamide comes down to this: it is light and durable, yet very flexible.
Equally important is the sustainability of the PA11, a characteristic SEVENFRIDAY value in their search for new construction possibilities. The versatility of the material and its endless possibilities were big advantages in the design of the FREE-D B.
The material provided the perfect blank canvas for innovative design and ideas others would consider crazy. The inspiration behind the design is instinctive and visible. A futuristic approach to an amalgamation of vegetal and animal. Reminiscent of an insect, the ‘shell’ of the FREE-D B, produced in one part and snapped into place, protects the dial and movement. Not only is the design inspired by shapes we see in nature, but its look reflects the organic nature of the material.
It is evident that the medium plays a significant role in the product design; the inspiration behind the FREE-D B is the process of printing and the properties of the PA11 and PA12. Using this unconventional method, SEVENFRIDAY created a design that could never be executed with traditional materials. The FREE-D B is a fascinating leap into the future, nonetheless instantly recognizable as a product of the SEVENFRIDAY universe.
Moreover, as the vibrant history of SEVENFRIDAY shows, the brand has always loved working with color. The FREE-D B is available in white, turquoise, and pink. As is the case for previous series and collections, the colors were chosen partly due to their symbolism and the feelings they evoke. White is purity and innocence, turquoise is success and good fortune, and pink is love and compassion.
The release of the FREE-D B will be limited to 30 pieces per color, and the watches will be made available in the SEVENFRIDAY app and at exclusive selected retail locations.
