Laphont Bloc Skybound

The rabbit has long stood for luck, and on Skybound it is pushing it. Standing in the lower corner of a deep navy dial, it holds five kites in purple, yellow, red, green and pink, flying high on the far side, a spread of colour many times its own size. Their strings stretch across the dial on a diagonal and run straight through its centre, so the hands turn right on the line between the rabbit and its sky. The rest of the custom dial stays open, with no numerals or markers, and the navy reads as night around one small, hand-painted figure in charge of it all.

Created in collaboration with Laphont, the artwork is set in the Bloc, a Brutalist-inspired stainless steel tank 35mm tall and 27.5mm across at just 7.6mm thick, with stepped, polished sides. A Japanese Miyota quartz movement runs beneath sapphire crystal, on a navy croc-embossed leather strap. Bold enough to start a conversation, slim enough for every day.

Laphont Bloc Skybound

Laphont Bloc Skybound

Lifted by Luck

Skybound sets a hand-painted white rabbit beneath five bright kites on a deep navy dial, steering a spread of colour far larger than itself. Created in collaboration with Laphont on the Brutalist-inspired Bloc, it turns an old emblem of luck into a small figure in command of the whole sky.

Kites are the first thing many of us ever flew — a line in one hand, the wind doing the rest, and the thrill of keeping something so far away under control. Skybound captures that moment of command. It is one of three IFL × Laphont dials about the small things that carry us upward, alongside Cloudling and Bouquella, and the most playful of the set: the colour gathers in one corner, and the navy around it is left as wide-open night.

Navy Night, Bright Kites

Navy Night, Bright Kites

  • Hand-Painted Artwork

    The rabbit, all five kites and every string are painted by hand on a deep navy dial. The kites carry all the colour — purple, yellow, red, green and pink — so the white figure below stands out clearly against the dark.

  • The Laphont Bloc

    Laphont's Brutalist-inspired square tank, 35mm tall and 27.5mm across, with stepped, polished sides. The tall dial gives the kites room to fly well above the rabbit.

  • Japanese Quartz

    A Japanese Miyota 2025 quartz movement keeps accurate time without winding, ready whenever you are. At 7.6mm, the case stays slim on the wrist.

  • Sapphire Crystal

    A sapphire crystal covers the dial, protecting the painted artwork and keeping the navy rich and clear beneath it.

  • Croc-Embossed Strap

    A 20mm navy leather strap with a croc-embossed finish echoes the dial and adjusts from 160 to 200mm. Spring bars allow easy swaps with the right tool.

One Rabbit, a Very Large Sky

One Rabbit, a Very Large Sky

In many cultures the rabbit stands for luck, gentleness and quiet curiosity — a modest animal that tends to keep close to the ground. Skybound gives it a different role. Here the rabbit is the one in charge, holding the lines of five kites and steering a spread of colour many times its own size.

The composition is built on a long diagonal. The rabbit, painted in white, stands in the lower-right corner of a deep navy dial, one paw raised to its strings. The kites fly high in the upper-left corner in purple, yellow, red, green and pink, the only colour in the design. Between them, the strings cross the dial and pass straight through its centre, so the hands turn on the very line that connects the rabbit to its kites.

Everything else is left open. There are no numerals and no markers, and the navy around the figure reads as a night sky, deep and still. That open space gives the design its balance: playful at first glance, restrained on a second look. Every element is hand-painted, and the result is a dial about imagination, freedom and the quiet thrill of being in control of something far bigger than yourself.

Sculpted in Steel

Sculpted in Steel

Laphont was founded by a designer who wanted to draw a watch the way you'd shape a sculpture. Each case starts as a sketch, becomes a 3D model and then goes through months of refinement on proportion and weight. The Bloc is that process applied to the classic tank — a square case inspired by Brutalist architecture, with stepped, polished sides that catch the light along both edges of the dial.

At 35mm tall, 27.5mm across and 7.6mm thick, the Bloc wears slim and slips easily under a cuff. Its upright proportions are what make Skybound work: the dial is taller than it is wide, so the kites have real height above the rabbit, and the diagonal between them reads from one corner to the other.

Inside is a Japanese Miyota 2025 quartz movement, valued for accuracy and ease — there is nothing to wind, and the watch is ready whenever you are. A sapphire crystal protects the painted dial, and the navy croc-embossed leather strap keeps the whole design in one tone so the artwork stands alone. Skybound is an official collaboration between IFL Watches and Laphont, one of three dials in the set alongside Cloudling and Bouquella.
