Catalogue Essay
Louis Erard proudly presents a one-of-a-kind creation designed exclusively for the TimeForArt auction, where fine watchmaking meets contemporary art. This extraordinary piece is the result of a collaboration with Olivier Mosset, the iconic and avant-garde Swiss artist known for his rebellious approach to abstract art. The watch features a chameleon-like design, with the tone-on-tone blue dial and hands shifting from blue to violet depending on the light, echoing the effect of Mosset’s "Untitled" work displayed at MAMO Centre d'art de la Cité Radieuse in 2018. The dial is free of labels and logos, presenting a pure artistic expression. The hands – batons for the hour, minute, and seconds – are identical in length, width, and rounded ends. There's just one detail: the size of the hole that gives the direction, a minimalist touch that ensures legibility without compromising the artistic vision.
Accompanied by a red seal marked "work of art - do not wear," this masterpiece underscores its status as an art object. The watch also includes two interchangeable straps, with one signed by the artist. Through bold artistic collaborations like this, Louis Erard continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, captivating collectors and contemporary art enthusiasts worldwide.
