The ASTERI, Reimagined
The Asteri is Argos Philippines’ symbol of a star worth reaching.
In its first iteration, Argos delved into the beauty and majesty of Philippine landscapes with inspiration from the country’s most popular and resilient mountain ranges, the Sierra Madre.
In its reimagination, the Asteri 2.0 carries fluid transitions towards a vision of a better Philippines.
Mother of Pearl (MOP) Dials
A distinct characteristic of mother of pearl is its natural formation, therefore, no two designs are ever the same. This is seen as an analogy of how unique the Filipino people are – carrying their warmth, joy, hope, and care throughout the globe.
The Asteri Reimagination comes in two shades, Regal Purple and Dreamer’s Pink.
Regal Purple
Regal Purple represents the past – of the Philippines’ wealth in culture, community, and celebration rooted in time-honored tradition. Purple was once used to adorn old leaders, or “Datus” to symbolize their status, power, and influence. This regal purple is translated as a homage to the country’s past – giving emphasis to its majesty and resilience.
Dreamer's Pink
Dreamer’s Pink represents the hope ticking quietly forward. A color between the pureness of white and the energy of red, pink is slow passion and peace – a color of transition and hope. Dreamer’s Pink perfectly compliments the Asteri, presenting a time in motion towards a hopeful future for the Philippines.
