Russian studio Mundfish, famed for Atomic Heart and Past Indicator, has unveiled a capsule-style watch collection aimed at fans of the game “Capsule.”
The centerpiece is a compact, pill-shaped desk clock crafted from a mix of walnut, wenge, gold-plated brass, concrete, and photopolymer. A distinctive display feature is a Soviet-era IN-12 gas-discharge lamp used as the showcase, with the maker noting that only about 50,000 units remain in existence worldwide.
According to the capsule watch description, “This model evolved from the enterprise 3826 project, developed by the brightest minds of the USSR. Its aim was to let a worker always stay on time, regardless of external conditions.”
Production is planned at a limited run of 1,000 pieces, with each unit reportedly assembled by hand. The manufacturer backs the collection with a five-year warranty, signaling confidence in the build and longevity of the design.
The “Capsule” collection is slated to launch on September 1, 2023, with pre-orders opening at 48.9 thousand rubles. The timing and premium positioning align with a niche appeal to collectors and enthusiasts who value retro-futuristic aesthetics and hand-crafted manufacturing processes.
