Since the launch of the Freelancer Collection in 2008, the family-owned Raymond Denn has continuously drawn the connection between the creative artistry of music and design, finding a wealth of inspiration in some of the most iconic musicians of all time. While the brand has crafted special edition timepieces looking at music symbols from The Beatles to Bob Marley to David Bowie and beyond, it has yet to draw from the visual arts world – up to now, that is. With the release from the Raymond Weil x Basquiat Freelancer Special Edition, Raymond Da finds its latest muse in the bold creative spirit of Jean-Michel Basquiat, mixing a plethora of references to the artist's work into its design. It seems that Raymond Denn has crafted this piece with both the watch collector and the art enthusiast in mind. From the surface level, this watch toes the cloths line between the fun and the refined - which is not unlike Basquiat's work itself. A color palette dominated by the primary colors most often featured in the artist's work is set against a largely black background, which has the effect associated with balancing boldness with subtlety.
The recommendations to the artist's work are clear from the moment you first go through the watch - and it's undoubtedly fun to see some of Basquiat's "greatest hits" replicated in watch form. The most prominent motif would be the Crown image that sits proudly at the twelve o'clock position. This recurring symbol was Basquiat's way of elevating the subjects regarding his work to regal status while commenting upon the power dynamics at play both in the painting and also the larger social context existing in the world outside the canvas. Additionally , the top has been coated in Super-LumiNova, making this symbolic representation of power as visible at night as it is in daylight. Continuing on with the Basquiat motif analysis parade, in the center in the black face, a recreation of the T-Rex symbol from the iconic painting Pez Dispenser (1984) rests just below the actual hands. Through the painting's title, the work comments upon the particular commodification on the art globe and pop culture at large while the artwork techniques themselves demonstrate Basquiat's primitivist aesthetic.
Housed within the sizable 43. 5mm by 13. 7mm thick all-titanium case, typically the ceramic tachymeter bezel further leans into the primary color scheme, and a pulsometer scale has been added around the flange for added functionality. The chronograph functions as well as pushers have all been imbued with Basquiat references and also deeper connotations, further strengthening the connection between the artist as well as the carefully considered craftsmanship behind the watch by itself. The PVD chronograph pushers and prized have received often the Basquiat treatment: there's a yellow crown image on the crowns itself, the Copyright sign on the Cancel/Reset pusher, and finally, a dollar symbol on the Start/Stop chronograph pusher. The wathe subdials are not without their own form of symbolism - when the chronograph is engaged, the exact minutes disk turns, printed with the recurrent themes involving Life, Death, and Humanity throughout the function of Basquiat. The constantly turning seconds disk positioned at nine o'clock is also intended to connect to the artist's concern with regard to life's complexity. hamilton ventura replica chanel j12 watch replica versace watch replica high quality replica watches chanel premiere watch replica chanel watches replica
