Memphis Postmodern Wristwatch by Nicolai Canetti for Artime, 1986 Swiss made

About the Item

Rare ArTime Collection wristwatch designed by Nicolai Canetti, with the same design as the famous wall clock. Slim and chic. Borrowing from the Bauhaus to the Memphis Group, this watch is a condensed of architectural design avant-garde. Nicolai Canetti had to converse for months before the Swiss watch makers finally accepted to manufacture his never seen before watches designs, with extravagant hands carrying shapes!!! All black, with red blue and grey geometric shapes floating on the watch hands in the manner of a Jesus Soto optical sculpture. As the hands move, the shapes overlay into an ever changing composition, the landscape of time.
