Full-Cataloguing
Created exclusively for TimeForArt, Louis Erard x Monica Bonvicini “Not For You” brings the artist’s sculptural use of language to the wrist. Mirror-polished lettering dominates the silver-toned Clou de Paris dial, The words confront the viewer directly, while the guilloché pattern gives the dial texture and depth.
Bonvicini has used “not for you” in her work since 2006, presenting the phrase in neon and mirrored letters. In this unique watch, its message becomes intimate and personal: something the wearer carries, and others encounter.
The black leather strap carries the artist’s handwritten signature. A red seal reading “work of art – do not wear” marks it as a piece to preserve. Two additional straps, one standard and one smaller, let men and women wear the 39mm watch without damaging the signed strap. The lot also includes a hand-signed Ventile travel pouch and a certificate of authenticity.
