Parivas 3D Printed Exo.1 Watch Makes Waves at WindUp NYC 2026

Los Angeles-based independent watchmaker Parivas is stepping into the spotlight at the WindUp Watch Fair in New York City, showcasing its revolutionary Exo.1 watch. This remarkable piece features advanced additive watchmaking techniques, making it a focal point for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.

A New Era of Watchmaking

The Exo.1 is not just a watch; it is an embodiment of innovative design crafted through metal additive manufacturing. This technique allows for a unique lattice architecture to be built layer by layer, offering unparalleled structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. At the fair, collectors will have the chance to purchase the watch directly and take it home, a rarity in the world of high-end watchmaking where many models require a waiting period.

Co-founders of Parivas, including CEO Mickey Brown, emphasize that they did not start with traditional designs but rather focused on what a watch could become when freed from conventional manufacturing constraints. This philosophy is central to the essence of Parivas and the Exo.1.

Unveiling the Exo.1

The Exo.1 watch construction is a feat of engineering, utilizing 316L stainless steel that forms a continuous, interconnected lattice. This design integrates the case, bezel, lugs, and floating indices, marrying function with artistic vision. The watch, illuminated with ice-blue tritium tubes, displays luminous hour markers that appear to hover within its unique structure.

For the first time, WindUp Watch Fair will feature completed Exo.1 watches available for immediate purchase. These will be available on a first-come, first-served basis and offer buyers a chance to own a piece at the event rather than waiting for future production batches.

The Concept of Additive Watchmaking

Additive manufacturing marks a significant shift in watch design. Traditional watchmaking has long been limited by the methods of cutting and shaping materials. In contrast, additive watchmaking allows designers to create forms that were previously impossible to realize. This approach ensures that every component serves a purpose while also contributing to the overall aesthetic.

The Exo.1 is a testament to Parivas' commitment to exploring these new possibilities. The design process took over six years and involved refining not only the aesthetic but also the intricate manufacturing processes required to produce such an advanced piece.

Experience the Future of Horology

Attendees of the Fair can not only view but hold the Exo.1, gaining a tactile understanding of its intricate architecture. Parivas will have all four co-founders available to discuss the watch and its innovative manufacturing techniques directly with collectors, creating a unique opportunity for interaction and understanding.

Additionally, Parivas will host a raffle for what they call a Show-Token – a non-movement version of the Exo.1 that highlights the watch's unique structural design without the mechanics hidden inside. This initiative aims to engage visitors more deeply with the design philosophy of Parivas.
