Pick Of The Week: WHOOP’s Meridian Band The Meridian Band in Silver Alloy brings a jewellery-minded sensibility to WHOOP, pairing polished Milanese mesh with the brand’s quietly obsessive approach to understanding the body. Founded in Boston in 2012, WHOOP began with Harvard student-athlete Will Ahmed, who wanted to better understand the relationship between training, sleep and recovery; he joined forces with fellow Harvard students John Capodilupo and Aurelian Nicolae and together they built a company that combines physiology, software and engineering. Today, that original idea lives in a screen-free wearable that tracks sleep, strain, recovery, heart rate and HRV, translating the numbers into more personal guidance. The Meridian itself softens the clinical language of wellness, designed as an adjustable, magnetic Milanese mesh band that can be worn alone or alongside your existing jewellery. Over time, WHOOP uses your data to reveal patterns in how you move, rest and recover, making the invisible rhythms of your health a little easier to read.
