SEVENFRIDAY x RocketByz: A Bold New Collaboration in Watchmaking
SEVENFRIDAY has built a reputation for pushing boundaries, and its latest collaboration with Rocketbyz by Tomyboy is a perfect example of this spirit. The new timepiece combines Tomyboy’s distinctive, vibrant style with SEVENFRIDAY’s innovative FreeD technique, resulting in one of the most daring and unique watches in SEVENFRIDAY’s history.
The Story Behind SEVENFRIDAY x RocketyByz
The collaboration between SEVENFRIDAY and Tomyboy began in 2013. After receiving a SEVENFRIDAY watch from a friend, Tomyboy, known for his bold use of neon colors, hand-painted the watch and sent it to SEVENFRIDAY’s founder, Dan. While the watch was far from practical - entirely unwearable and not waterproof - it featured a striking design that immediately caught attention. This sparked the beginning of a lasting partnership.
In 2015, the first collaboration resulted in a limited-edition collection: a 50-piece, hand-painted neon series that sold out in just two hours. The momentum continued in 2020, when a carbon-infused version of the neon design was released, selling out in a matter of days.
In January 2025, SEVENFRIDAY unveiled a new timepiece that represents the culmination of this creative journey. Drawing inspiration from the contrast between day, night, and neon, every detail of the watch was crafted to evoke a range of emotions—from the brightness of joy to the gloom of winter. More than just a timepiece, it serves as an expression of artistry and innovation.
A Bold Expression of Urban Art
Colours are not merely decorative on this watch - they embody emotion. The watch itself serves as a canvas for vibrant hues and playful details that capture the essence of urban art. Featuring a 3D printed "R" and "WTF" that react to UV light, the design offers a dynamic experience with every glance. The gunmetal time capsule emits a glowing light, cutting through the darkness and reminding the wearer that it's time for something exciting - whether it's the start of the day or a fresh adventure. Hand-applied lume adds to the effect, transforming the timepiece into not just a watch but a radiant work of art that inspires and energizes its wearer.
This is more than just a watch - it’s an unrestrained statement of urban art. Large, daring, and full of personality, the timepiece challenges conventions with its bold design. Free-spirited and a little bit eccentric, this creation perfectly embodies the daring spirit that SEVENFRIDAY is known for.
