As a devout watch collector, it's almost a surprise that Tom Ford's first foray into creating timepieces began only a few years ago, in the spring of 2018. The 001—a Swiss-made stainless steel watch—was the perfect accompaniment to his collections of smartly tailored suiting and cosmopolitan party pieces, and it spoke to Ford's built-to-last design ethos. But so much has changed since his first watch just four years ago.
You might say that Ford's launch of the TOM FORD Ocean Plastic Timepiece collection was his call to arms. The 002, launched in 2020, coincided with the ongoing announcement—the first global competition solely focused on scaling design alternatives to thin-film plastic . Ford will name the innovation prize recipient in 2023.
Now in his third installment of the Ocean Plastic series, Ford introduces his N.004 Timepiece with a minimalist rectangular face and an interchangeable monochrome braided strap. Its lightweight design makes it the perfect companion alongside breezy linens , but it's substantial enough to stand up to colder weather's sweater-and-coat pairings.
The watch and packaging are made from 100-percent ocean plastic, using approximately 35 bottles of plastic waste from the ocean's coastline and landfills. He notes that each new Ocean Plastic installment is a new pledge to his commitment to the cause. Besides,"ethical luxury is the greatest luxury of all," says Ford.TOM FORD 004 OCEAN PLASTIC WATCH
