Weird Watch Art By Dominic Wilcox
From time-to-time we come across art inspired by, or placed directly inside of, a watch or clock. An best watches reader was nice enough to share with us the work of UK-born and -based Dominic Wilcox, who, among other things, has made wrist and pocket watch dials a palette for artistic expression.Wilcox calls these creations “Watch Sculptures” and they start with vintage wrist and pocket watches that he has acquired. The first step is removing the crystal and replacing them with a tall dome to make room for the small sculptures and figurines that he creates. Wilcox claims to be inspired by both real and imagined situations, and uses the motion of the watch hands as part of the art. The figurines are literally placed on the watch hands.
H. Moser & Cie Perpetual Calendar Black Edition Watch
When it was released, the Perpetual Calendar was renowned for its simplicity and legibility.H. Moser & Cie. is proud of the fact that they are a small manufacture. In fact, on their website, they proudly proclaim that they are family-owned, that they take pride in complications that "are simple and functional"and that every watch that they make is hand-built and finished.The brand itself dates back to 1805, but was acquired by the Dixi Mechanique Group during the Quartz Crisis. It was later revived in 2005 and one of its earliest and most notable pieces was its simply named Perpetual Calendar watch, which we had covered some time ago in 2010.
