The games of visionary video game developer Hideo Kojima are among the most eagerly anticipated new releases in both gaming and cultural circles. With game characters portrayed by world-class actors such as Norman Reedus and Léa Seydoux, Kojima’s creative work pushes the narrative and experimental boundaries of gaming. In collaboration with the storytelling pioneer, Hamilton created an in-game clock for Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, the sequel to the award-winning, genre-bending masterpiece Death Stranding.
Hamilton worked closely with renowned art director Yoji Shinkawa to create this futuristic, Boulton-inspired limited edition that perfectly captures the techno-apocalyptic landscape of DEATH STRANDING. As with many of Kojima’s past works, Shinkawa assumed art direction for this series, translating Kojima’s mental imagination into a physical clock.
The watch consists of seven sapphire crystal elements: a main window framed by two lines, each of which is divided into three sections adapted to the shape of the case. The unique, completely new case shape creates a dynamic, ever-changing play of light and shadow. Minimalist gray markers on the dial contrast with the lacquered orange second hand and the orange index at 12 o’clock. Loop-shaped hour and minute hands echo the design of the sapphire crystal and brighten the dial. The black PVD-coated bracelet underscores the watch’s supple yet durable, technical design.
The three-hand automatic movement with 25 jewels has an 80-hour power reserve. True to the watch’s apocalyptic narrative origins, a Nivachron™ hairspring provides enhanced resistance to magnetic fields, temperature fluctuations, and shock.
Limited to 2,000 units, the Boulton Death Stranding 2 will be available from June 26, 2025, coinciding with the release of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, in a collector’s box inspired by the game’s story elements and with a specially designed cleaning cloth.
