Often the most interesting projects arise from unexpected unions.
Who could ever imagine to find themselves one day in front, among the lines of the splendid watches exhibited by the historic Bonanno Jewelry, to a specimen like the one conceived by the protagonists of this wonderful union?
Artists, it is known, often see beyond. The creative spirit leads them to imagine things that are sometimes unthinkable to more rational minds.
Sometimes, indeed. Because if the artist in question meets on his or her way a rational mind capable of understanding the potential of an idea, it is very likely that something unique and unrepeatable will result.
This is what happened when Giovanni Bonanno met the great Roman artist Dicò.
The fire artist, who achieved worldwide fame through works resulting from the most visionary experiments that led him to achieve his identifying stylistic signature with the burning of methacrylate, decided on this occasion to reserve his explosive pop art for an object considered by most to be untouchable. Some of the most renowned luxury watches have been further embellished with the contemporary pop art of this visionary artist.
And the result is astonishing.
The first in the series is a Rolex Daytona Ref. 116520. More examples will follow, all numbered and of course in limited numbers.
The watches, to be worn or simply admired from outside their case, will be available only to a select few.
In the coming months, with the timing dictated by the artist's creative flair and technical lead times, luxury watch and pop art enthusiasts and Dicò's many fans will have the opportunity to purchase this unique work. Produced exclusively for Bonanno Jewelers and in a limited edition.
Those who will have the opportunity to come into possession of one of these pieces will be assured of wearing a unique, original piece. Of wearing on the wrist the perfect synthesis of the beauty of contrasts: tradition and innovation, elegance and originality, light and dark, rationality and creativity.
The watch par excellence becomes at the same time an object of art.
Unmissable.
