The perfect combination of art and watches
The charm of a watch lies not only in its precise timing, but also in the stories and emotions behind it. Hamilton is known for its cinematic watchmaking heritage, while Kojima Studios is known for its unique storytelling approach. When the two meet, what is born is not only a limited edition watch, but also a highly collectible work of art.
Cross-border collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Hamilton
Hideo Kojima’s work “Death Stranding 2: On the Shore” is not only a game, but also art. Featuring a world-class cast, the game continues to push the boundaries of storytelling and gaming experience. In the game, players will play the role of deliveryman Brayden, traveling through the ruins of the United States to connect humanity and save the future in a world changed by supernatural phenomena. Every connection is a meeting of the soul.
The cooperation between Hamilton Watch and Kojima Productions closely connects the game with the real world. Hideo Kojima expressed his honor.
Cross-border watches in the eyes of designers
As a watch designer, Yoji Shinkawa mentioned that the design process of this watch took two years. The watch must not only match the gaming atmosphere, but also have practical functions. They strive to find a balance in the design so that the watch can both represent the game and become an independent work of art.
The titanium case of the watch is treated with black PVD coating, presenting a smooth and lightweight design. Compared with traditional materials, the use of this titanium material reduces the weight of the watch by 45%. Wearing it makes time seem lighter.
The collision of futurism and high-end texture
This special edition watch will be released on June 26, 2025, and will be launched simultaneously with the game. The designers emphasized in interviews that they found a perfect balance between futuristic style and high-end textures. This is not only a game peripheral, but also a display of Hamilton watch brand technology and quality.
Equipped with a 25-jewel self-winding movement, the power reserve can reach 80 hours. The balance spring is made of Nivachron™ material, which has excellent properties such as anti-magnetic, anti-seismic, and high-temperature resistance, ensuring that the watch can maintain accurate timing in various environments.
Limited release and packaging design
This special edition watch will be limited to 2,000 pieces, and each one will be unique. The limited edition number is engraved on the back of the watch, highlighting its preciousness. The packaging design of the watch is also unique and inspired by the narrative elements in the game, extending the connection between players and characters into the real world.
