@artvangarde: Kardia is an experimental design project developing watches that transform the mechanics of timekeeping into something that looks strangely biological. Inside the prototype, a miniature anatomical heart sits beneath the watch face, surrounded by visible mechanical components. The design makes the object feel less like a conventional watch and more like a small organism carried on the wrist. The project is still in its prototype stage. Its creator is currently developing the mechanism and production process, with the goal of eventually making the watches available for purchase. Kardia is also experimenting with taking the idea beyond watches. A new project turns the miniature heart into a pendant, with two different versions currently being tested. #watches #art #artist #weird #niche
