Special edition collab with chainmaille artist JELLYVERSE (@jellyverse_ ). Rachel used stainless steel rings and a complex weave pattern to design and build this supple yet robust metal bracelet for the Worden Watch 009. The juxtaposition of traditional handwoven chainmaille and modern precision watchmaking offers a distinct and unique addition to the watch industry.

‍

There will only be one JELLYVERSE chainmaille watch per theme. No exceptions.

‍

Like all Wordens, this theme is a limited run and will never be produced again. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.

"Via Negativa" is a Latin term that translates to "the way of negation." In philosophy and theology, it refers to a method of approaching truth or understanding by defining what something is not rather than by affirming what it is. In design, Via Negativa is essentially the study of what not to do and this methodology was used extensively in the development of Worden Watch. This approach can be applied to any creative process and will resonate with artists, free thinkers, and designers alike.
