Andy Warhol Watch Clou de Paris Edition

Description

Thanks to an official new collaboration under license with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Piaget and the Foundation have formally renamed the timepiece: the Andy Warhol watch. The first watch celebrating this exciting union is a new and contemporary design interpretation: the Andy Warhol Clou de Paris watch. Reminiscent of the original signature gadroons, the challenge lay in the watch’s cushion-shaped case. Not only did the Clou de Paris pattern has to be meticulously hand-finished on a curved, rather than flat, surface, it also had to achieve the same subtle layering, wondrous play of light and alluring artistry of the original gadroons. Complementing this finish is a one-of-a-kind blue meteorite dial. Featuring a powerful hue and unique reflection, the meteorite nods to Piaget’s signature in designing with ornamental stones and is a distinctive material that the Maison has reserved for extraordinary creations. Here, the blue meteorite adds a sense of rarity and distinction to the new Andy Warhol watch. A final vintage flourish highlights the design’s singular character: dauphine-style hands and elegant indexes.
