In an unparalleled collaboration that merges the worlds of art and horology, Swiss watch manufacturer, Swatch, has joined forces with the iconic works of Jean-Michel Basquiat to unveil limited-edition time-pieces that reimagine three of the prolific artist’s groundbreaking paintings.
The 80s art star known for his neo-expressionism remains an enduring symbol of artistic genius, rebellion and cultural exploration. Inspired by Basquiat’s expressive and bold imagery, Swatch has brought “Untitled,” “Ishtar” and “Hollywood Africans” to life on the wrists of watch enthusiasts and aficionados alike.

Each watch showcases Basquiat’s distinct motifs, capturing the essence of his work and creating a wearable masterpiece. This celebration of two art forms allows generations to experience Basquiat in a new dimension but also be reminded of his profound impact on the art world and the power of artistic expression.
