Christopher Ward’s Year of the Snake Watch Is a Nostalgic Pixelated Masterpiece

Christopher Ward and horological artist seconde/seconde/ have teamed up again, this time reimagining The Twelve integrated sports watch with a playful twist. Instead of a traditional Lunar New Year zodiac homage, the Twelve Snake takes inspiration from the pixelated Nokia Snake game of the late ’90s. The dial features a "Venom Green" LCD-style hue with a black pixelated snake slithering across the surface, even taking a bite out of the applied logo. A unique non-date date window displays occasional "bonus bites" from the classic mobile game.

The stainless steel case (40mm) retains The Twelve’s signature integrated bracelet and 100m water resistance, with a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement inside. A custom sapphire caseback reveals a Venom Green rotor adorned with another pixelated snake. Available on either a bracelet ($1,225) or rubber strap ($995).
