MoMA Exclusive: Inspired by military watches, the Jungle Watch reimagines that classic style in modern, monochromatic color ways. It’s produced by Kelton, a brand founded in 1955 after a meeting between French Air Force watch designer Stéphane Boullier and Timex. Kelton produced well-designed and accessible watches in France through the 1980s. In 2016, Kelton returned, and all of their watches are designed and assembled in France.
Features of the Kelton Jungle Watch include:
- The band is made from rPet, a food-grade material derived from collected and recycled empty PET packaging.
- Mechanical movement (requires winding).
- 35mm case made of ABS plastic.
- Acrylic crystal.
