TACS Introduces Limited Edition AVL II Bronze in Collaboration with Robotoys

TACS unveils AVL II Bronze, a limited-edition wristwatch and watch stand box set. The watch stand is a collaboration with Korean artistic sensation, Robotoys, to create a fusion of vintage charm and futuristic aesthetic. Inspired by vintage camera design, AVL II is the 2nd generation of Automatic Vintage Lens from TACS’ Lens Series. Its lens-like, fisheye facade, camera marker details, and a bezel that mimics a zoom ring of a camera, all speak volumes about its intricate design.

TACS collaborates with Robotoys to create a branded watch stand for the new AVL II Bronze release. Robotoys is a series of sculptures created by Korean artist Mr Y.N. Choi, whose work has been exhibited in galleries and national museums. Much like TACS philosophy and our dedication to creating unique designs with thoughtful craftsmanship, Choi’s creations are both nostalgic and futuristic, combining traditional craft techniques with modern technology, inspired by his childhood memories of playing with toy robots.

Limited to 500 pieces, each AVL II Bronze comes with a numbered Robotoys’ handcrafted watch stand those doubles as a collectable art piece. Primarily made of wire, copper and acrylic, the watch stand is entirely handmade to look like a miniature humanoid robot, with articulated arms and legs, allowing the robot to be positioned in multiple ways, making it a functional and playful art piece.

 

AVL II Bronze

The overall look of this watch has to be a feature just on its own. By combining the essentials of a timepiece with recognizable traits of a camera, this timepiece is the perfect balance of both. Taking inspiration from the focus ring on camera lens, AVL2 also has etching its rotating bezel to give off that essential camera vibe. AVL2 has deverly replaced traditional minute indicators with popular camera focal lengths. TACS has opted to use sapphire crystal for the galss of both the front and back of its timepieces. The front fish-eye effect crystal also features anti-reflective coating. AVL2 is a water resistant to 10 ATM for extra durablility and usability. Adnd features a screw-down crown which ensures the best water-resist capability.

The Aesthetic of Patina

Made of bronze, a metal alloy that is known for its unique patina quality, the new AVL II Bronze is an embodiment of a type of transient, ever-changing beauty (Wabi-sabi*), a philosophy that appreciates the organic and evolving aesthetic of an exquisite object as it grows with time, as well as the contentment of observing it.
