🏁 IKEPOD HEMIPODE CUNNINGHAM AUTOMATIC CHRONOGRAPH – MARC NEWSON DESIGN | RARE COLLECTOR WATCH


An Icon of Contemporary Watch Design Meets Legendary American Racing

The Ikepod Hemipode Cunningham Automatic Chronograph is a highly collectible timepiece combining two powerful legacies: the avant-garde vision of Marc Newson and the historic aura of the Cunningham racing team.

Created during the golden era of Ikepod, the Hemipode remains one of the most recognizable and influential chronograph designs in modern horology.


Marc Newson – A Design Icon

Designed by Marc Newson, one of the most celebrated industrial designers in the world, the Hemipode redefined watch aesthetics in the late 1990s.

Its organic, futuristic case design broke away from traditional watchmaking codes and positioned Ikepod as a pioneer of contemporary horology — today highly sought after by collectors of design-driven timepieces.


🏆 The Cunningham Racing Legacy

The “Cunningham” name pays tribute to Briggs Cunningham, a legendary figure in American motorsport.

In the early 1950s, Cunningham pursued an ambitious vision: to build and race American cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, competing against the dominant European manufacturers.

His achievements include:

  • Historic participation at Le Mans with American-built cars
  • A remarkable 3rd place overall in 1953
  • The introduction of the iconic American racing colors (white with blue stripes)

Today, Cunningham remains a symbol of innovation, courage, and racing heritage, making this Ikepod chronograph far more than a design object — it is a tribute to a defining era of motorsport history.
