TWELVE MINUTES BLACK

The TWELVE MINUTES collection was recognised with a gold award at the international design competition MUSE Design Awards 2024 in the USA.

The HVILINA's TWELVE MINUTES collection was designed in collaboration with famous Portuguese game designer Luis Antonio and is based on the same-name game. This is a transformer wristwatch, which turns into a pocket one. The design is stylizated as the watch, used by the main game character. 

Luis Antonio is a game designer, creator, and screenwriter of the internationally award-winning game 12 Minutes, with James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe as voice actors. Luis is known for his remarkable work as the leading 3D artist in the popular game The Witness, which was awarded a BAFTA Games; his earlier experience involves working as an artist in the games Manhunt 2 and Midnight Club LA at the Rockstar Games.

The design is stylized as the watch, used by the main game character. The distinctive feature of the collection is that the wristwatch transforms into a pocket watch. To maintain the overall concept, we inserted a Miyota quartz mechanism with reverse stroke.

The game TWELVE MINUTES is an interactive real-time thriller about a person, caught in a time loop, from a top-down point. The game combines the tension of The Shining, the claustrophobic sensations of Rear Window, and the fragmentary structure of Remember.

Luis Antonio, the creator and scriptwriter of 12 Minutes, is known for his remarkable work as the leading 3D artist in the popular game The Witness, which was awarded a BAFTA Games; his earlier experience involves working as an artist in the games Manhunt 2 and Midnight Club LA. 

HVILINA's TWELVE MINUTES watch is designed to diversify the experience of wearing a wristwatch and give new opportunities to its owner. The minimalistic style refers to the original game design of the watch. 

The watch has a mechanism with reverse stroke, which emphasizes the idea of a time loop, created by the game designer. 

The case is equipped with hidden grooves with attachments, allowing a change of the strap to a chain carabiner. It turns the wristwatch into a pocket watch. 

The marks from 11:58 to 12:10 are coloured differently: it is during these 12 minutes that all events occur in the game. 

The watch case is made of stainless steel. While the reliable Japanese Miyota 2037 mechanism with a 3-year power supply reserve will ensure accuracy, the spherical sapphire crystal will protect from scratches. 

The back cover is engraved. The set includes a genuine leather strap and a branded chain with a carabiner. The collection is limited and is represented by 4 models, each of which will be released in the amount of 350 pcs.
