Kojima Productions and Anicorn Watches collaborate on an epic timepiece called the REVERSE TRIKE TIME. The product is inspired by the popular action video game DEATH STRANDING. The watch, "supervised by Hideo Kojima," reflects the game's narrative with its color scheme, durable materials, and intricate design.
The Kojima Productions x Anicorn Watches collaboration doesn't end here, however. The brands also release a slick ULTRAVIOLET GENERATOR that allows one to "charge up" the REVERSE TRIKE TIME. Additionally, the Rare Edition includes the Bridges Cargo Case, a functional 1:1 replica of main DEATH STRANDING protagonist Sam Porter Bridges' suitcase. The Yoji Shinkawa-designed Watch Winder is the final slick product in the Kojima Productions and Anicorn Watches collaboration. The packaging includes a metal numbered plate and a collaboration story booklet.
