Last weekend Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was the #1 film in America (unfortunately). To coincide with the film’s release, FLüD has dropped the second limited edition watch in their TMNT Watch Collection! For their newest timepiece, FLüD teamed up with acclaimed street artist Tristan Eaton for an original take on the Turtles’ archenemy, the evil Shredder. Tristan went with a very old school kabuki-styled theme for this Shredder design, which sports a red color scheme on a white case and band.
The Blot really enjoyed reading Tristan’s interview on the FLüD blog, where he touched upon his own TMNT fandom and his inspiration for this watch’s design. As Tristan explained, “From the comics illustrated by Mark Bode to the Saturday morning cartoons, TMNT have always had a prominent place in the pop culture of my youth. I've always had respect for the bad guys, so when asked to create a bespoke watch for Flüd and TMNT I immediately gravitated towards Shredder. I played up his Samurai aesthetic and created a piece inspired by ancient Japanese water color paintings.”
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Tristan Eaton x FLüD Limited Edition Watch is available now at the FLüD online store for $50.
