Description
2017 WIDE ACRES OF TIME by Ian Davenport Swatch New Gent Artist Special (SUOZ269S) A very rare and sought-after limited edition, numbered 1712/1966 on the packaging and on the back of the case. The extremely rare Swatch New Gent Artist Special ‘WIDE ACRES OF TIME’ was unveiled at the 2017 Venice Biennale. The result of a collaboration between Swatch and the British artist Ian Davenport, who is known for his colourful works and explores the nature of colour by allowing it to express itself through his painting. This principle is also evident on the world’s smallest canvas, whose bands of colour converge to form a whirlwind on the dial. All special editions are individually numbered and presented in a decorative box in matching colours. Only 1,966 examples exist worldwide (the artist’s year of birth), and the watch is accompanied by a poem by Philip Davenport, the artist’s brother. Sold out in just one day, it is now largely in the hands of collectors. A true rarity on the market. Its value is, of course, commensurate with its extreme rarity. Complete packaging Brand new, never worn
