MIDDLEBURY, CT - For Immediate Release - Unlimited expression has always been the point. Now, Ecko UNLTD. unveils a fresh canvas for creativity: its own product line. Ecko UNLTD. introduces the street inspired Exhibit Artists Series. 

The Exhibit Artists Series features the original artwork of top graffiti artists representing countries and cultures around the globe, articulating a cohesive story through this urban art form. The Exhibit Series showcases timepieces, t-shirts, footwear, hats, backpacks and an assortment of items across the Ecko UNLTD. product categories.

Exhibit Series timepieces feature eight leading graffiti artists' original designs. Each artist worked with one color using a tone-on-tone format to tell their distinct story. Collaboration with the global fashion brand, Ecko UNLTD. will give the artists more visibility and more opportunity to make an impact on the unlimited generation.

For UNLTD. timepieces, each artist will display their art on the newly launched Tran, a street inspired timepiece that displays its cool factor through translucence. The simplicity and transparency of the Tran makes it the perfect platform for artistic expression. The timepiece features a lightweight integrated plastic and metal case with soft silicon straps. Its 48mm thermoplastic case is framed by a metallic top-ring. Simple 3-hand movement and subtle hour markers give the artists a clear space to work.
