This Basquiat Watch represents: ' Skull'. Skull blends two of Basquiat's most powerful works. His Untitled artwork (a.k.a. Skull) was presented at his debut solo exhibition in New York. The case of the watch, like the painting, allows for a look at both the surface and the inside of the piece. The canvas strap is made with excerpts from Basquiat’s Undiscovered Genius painting. The complexity of artworks - Genius and Skull - are tied together through the 25-jewel Swiss ETA automatic movement powering the timepiece.
Daem designs all of their watches in their Brooklyn studio. They are located in an old Williamsburg factory that's been converted, on a tree-lined street opposite the subway tracks. Their watches are made in the Basel region of northern Switzerland. After visiting manufacturers across Switzerland and the United States, they found a watchmaker who's truly world-class and can bring their designs to life. This Skull watch is made with Swiss ETA caliber 2824-2 25-jewel automatic movement, the industry quality standard for self-winding movements and Sapphire crystal glass, a superior scratch-resistant crystal that offers excellent clarity.
