UNDONE x Noritake Pointing Boy 2.0 Watch

UNDONE Noritake Pointing Boy 2.0 Watch

A Playful Timepiece That Turns Every Glance Into a Smile

The UNDONE x Noritake Pointing Boy 2.0 Watch is a limited-edition collaborative chronograph that answers the search for an undone noritake pointing boy 2.0 watch directly: a playful artist-designed timepiece where the boy’s arms replace conventional hands, turning each glance at the dial into a small moment of delight. Combining Noritake’s minimalist boy illustrations with reliable mechanical quartz watchmaking, it offers a calmer, more personal alternative to mainstream watches for art enthusiasts, urban creatives, fans of Japanese illustration, collectors, and gift buyers who want something functional but distinctive.

The inspiration for the Pointing Boy comes from Noritake’s simple line work and timid smile—something the artist wanted to give to the wearer through an object used every day. In the sections that follow, you’ll see how the design concept works in practice, what features and specifications define the watch, how the collaboration came together, who it suits best, and what to expect around authenticity, warranty, presentation, shipping, and buying options. Working in a monochrome style with occasional hints of blue and peach, Noritake’s one-line illustrations bring humor and warmth to a limited-edition watch that makes telling time feel less routine and more expressive.

Why You'll Love It

• Art meets function – UNDONE has the privilege of collaborating with Noritake for the second time, and this boy 2.0 iteration perfects the concept of allowing you to wear his most loved illustration on your arm.

• Playful time-telling – The watch hands are represented by the character's arms, indicating the time in a way that sparks a slight giggle every glance.

• Versatile monochrome aesthetic – The dial features soft hints of blue and peach in a monochrome style, pairing effortlessly with any outfit while adding occasional hints of colour.

• Quick release straps – Quick release straps delivered with the watch let you swap looks in seconds, no tools required.

• Premium unboxing – Every watch arrives in a special Noritake box alongside a black velvet pouch, making it gift-ready from the moment it reaches you.

What Makes It Different

Most collaboration watches simply print an artist's work on a dial and call it a day. The design stays static, decorative - disconnected from the act of telling time.

The Noritake Pointing Boy 2.0 is built differently:

• Functional illustration – Noritake's beautifully expressed one line illustrations don't just sit on the dial. The pointing boy character's arms are the hands, giving the boy's arms a mechanical purpose that makes reading time a uniquely engaging experience.

• Authentic artistic voice – Noritake is celebrated for minimalist line drawings with characters whose timid smile often produce a quiet, reflective joy. That ennui expression - half-contemplative, half-playful - isn't something you'll find on any other timepiece.

• Proven collaboration – This is the second time UNDONE and Noritake have joined forces. The original Pointing Boy proved the concept; the 2.0 refines and perfects it.

• Limited edition collectibility – As a collaboration model (SKU: col tsa nrtk), this watch carries inherent scarcity. It's a piece producing those extra smiles and holding its value among collectors.
