The S110 #vantablack by @anish.kapoor caught by @hodinkee.
Here is more about this very special piece: The Sequential One
S110 Evo Vantablack
by Anish Kapoor
MCT Watches and the artist Anish Kapoor present the world premiere Sequential One – S110 Evo Vantablack, the first watch to feature the blackest material ever produced by humankind, Vantablack.
The Sequential One – S110 Evo Vantablack stems from an encounter between Anish Kapoor and MCT Watches starring this high-tech material with its extremely strange properties.
Representing an authentic scientific revolution, Vantablack is composed of carbon nanotubes measuring one millionth of a millimetre thick each and capable of absorbing 99.965 per cent of the light they receive.
Initially developed for the military and aerospace industry, Vantablack soon caught the interest of Anish Kapoor. As the artist explains, “it’s the blackest material in the universe, after a black hole; a physical object that is impossible to see”. For several months, the teams at MCT Watches worked hand in hand with the artist in order to give shape to a mysterious and fascinating watch. Used on the back dial as well as on one end of the minutes hand, shaped like a small moon, Vantablack reveals its incredible properties. The movement appears to be suspended in mid-air, while the small moon appears and disappears as if by magic during its rotation around the dial.
