Ladies Wristwatch of 18k gold by Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe for Georg Jensen

About the Item

Ladies Wristwatch of 18k gold by Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe for Georg Jensen, 1970s Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe (1927–2004) was one of Sweden's most important 20th century silversmiths and the first female silversmith to attract international attention. She secured her first exhibition aged 21. By the late 1940s and early 1950s, she was part of the Paris art studio fraternity, counting Picasso and Billie Holiday as friends.? Torun created the Vivianna watch in 1962, a spoon-shaped ‘never-ending’ bangle with a mirrored dial and simple hands but devoid of numerals. Originally commissioned for an exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, she said her decision to leave out the hour markers suggested a kind of non-time, so that each time the wearer looked at the dial, the message that ‘life is now’ would be reflected back. In 1967, she began working freelance with Georg Jensen, for whom she produced some of her most famous works, becoming the second most famous designer at the company behind Jensen himself.? The "Vivianna" clock has been produced unchanged by Georg Jensen since 1969 until today.
