While deeply intertwined, the worlds of art and horology rarely come together in meaningful collaborations. TimeForArt seeks to change that by launching the first-ever benefit watch auction to support contemporary art and artists.
With the theme of artists for artists, all featured watches are either unique collaborations with world-renowned artisans, interventions by leading contemporary artists, or bespoke examples of innovative craftsmanship.
