The Ikepod and Jeff Koons watch, a collaboration between the artist and the Swiss watchmaker, have been released and are available for purchase at French retailer Colette. The watches feature a Koons graphic (perhaps inspired by the Hulk) on the dial and come in two colorways, black or purple.
This collaboration is not cheap. The platinum version of the Ikepod and Jeff Koons watch retails for $51,800 while a titanium version sells for a more reasonable $15,100.
