Alix Malamaire – Crocodium

For many years, alligator straps have graced luxury watches, giving them a unique identity. Crocodium is inspired by this iconic material to develop a titanium reproduction using 3D printing. As a tribute, it responds to ethical needs by revealing a new visual of the alligator. The concept is being developed in the design of a watch featuring this pattern: the aim is to place the alligator as a protector of time, by applying the concept to the caseback of a reversible watch, which protects the gimbal and offers the option of wearing it as a watch or as an alligator strap.
