LUCKYSHROOM

Ando × Luckyshroom Series V2

ONLY AVAILABLE AT: ANDOANDOANDO.com

Yu Ando, Japanese Finnish designer and founder of Andoandoando, returns with Luckyshroom for a second collaboration, continuing a dialogue rooted in play, precision, and quiet subversion.
 

Where the first series introduced a new perspective, Series V2 deepens it.

This collection explores opposing forces. Light and shadow, motion and stillness, tradition and reinterpretation. Rather than altering the object, the approach is subtle. Surfaces, reflections, and textures are manipulated to shift how the watch is perceived in motion and in light.
 

At its foundation remains the Flathead, Luckyshroom’s fully re engineered titanium interpretation of an iconic digital architecture. Designed, engraved, and assembled in Switzerland, it serves as a precise and deliberate canvas for variation.

Series Balance in contrast is composed of six pieces across three distinct expressions.

Each case begins as a hand drawn study. Patterns are sketched, scanned, and refined before being engraved into titanium using high powered laser processes, balancing human imperfection with technical accuracy.

The first expression draws from traditional wave forms, fluid, continuous, and deeply rooted in visual heritage.
The second reinterprets the wave as structure, geometric, woven, almost textile in its rhythm.
The third reduces the gesture entirely, an inverted mirrored cross, revealed only through movement, existing between presence and disappearance.

On the case back, a duality emerges. A dark flathead and a light koi, hand drawn, circle each other in a yin yang configuration, set within a blue oval representing the world. Beneath, World Time is inscribed in Japanese, grounding the piece in both symbolism and origin.
 

This tension between opposites extends beyond the watch itself. The presentation box, produced in wood filament, references traditional Japanese craftsmanship while introducing an ISO grid pattern, an unexpected, almost futuristic structure that aligns with Luckyshroom’s brutalist design language.
 

Series V2 reflects an inversion, of forms, of expectations, and of the previous collaboration itself.

Six pieces. Three variations.
Each one individually realized.
