Its body is a Walkman — the turning disk, the chunky buttons. Its brain is modern tech. And it's made from just two materials: aluminum and clear acrylic.
The body is the old Walkman mechanism — the spinning disk, the play buttons. The brain is the new tech running it all. Aluminum feels solid and engineered, clear acrylic feels light and see-through, and I love how they play off each other.
The full assembly in 3D.
The WM1 keeps that nostalgic Walkman feeling, with a few new tricks that make listening more hands-on and more fun.
A music player for 2025, split into two parts. The “body” is the Walkman mechanism — the turning disk and the buttons. The “brain” is the modern tech that runs it.
Just two materials: aluminum and clear acrylic. One feels solid and engineered, the other light and see-through — and that contrast is kind of the whole point.
It keeps the nostalgic spirit of the original Walkman, but adds new ways to play with your music, so listening feels like something you do again.
