NYA- SERIES Black Cat Watch Collaboration

yunivers hsieh's latest collaboration is with the popular Japanese black cat, NYA-! "NYA-" originated from "Né-net," a trendy apparel brand under a Japanese luxury group. NYA- (the Japanese pronunciation of "nyaa" is the sound a cat makes) became incredibly popular after its debut, and subsequent NYA- series products have also been widely loved by fans. This black cat, always wide-eyed and open-mouthed in surprise, with its quirky yet very stylish appearance, quickly sparked a sensation in Taiwan, becoming the most anticipated Japanese character recently!

NYA-WATCHES Design Concept

Hello everyone, I'm Yuni, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating with NYA- this time. As a super fan of black cats, how could I not surrender to NYA-'s cuteness! For this design, I've taken NYA-'s most iconic expression and used metal cutouts applied to the surface. This is paired with a concentric circular brushed dial and round-cut hands. With a simple silver metal case and a black Milanese strap, the entire watch exudes a strong metallic texture, showcasing a NYA- collaboration watch that is both bold in style and incredibly cute! The cover card for the collection box is also full of NYA-'s big head, so you'll be dazzled by cuteness as soon as you open the watch!

From the Japanese fashion brand "Né-net"

"Né-net" was founded in 2005 by designer Kazuaki Takashima. "Né-net" means "birth" or "born" in French. The brand concept is to transcend image and gender norms, using animals, plants, and people as design themes to create clothing that boys, girls, adults, and children—the whole family—can wear. With a cute, casual, and free-spirited design style, it emphasizes that anyone, regardless of gender or body shape, can comfortably and happily wear "Né-net" clothing. Following this original spirit, designer Kazuaki Takashima drew inspiration from his childhood memories to design Nya- "にゃー" (the Japanese sound for a cat's meow), featuring a black cat as the brand's iconic image.
