"In a continuation of one of contemporary horology's most culturally resonant collaborations, Piaget and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts have introduced a new collectible wristwatch that bridges fine art and high watchmaking: the Andy Warhol Watch "Collage" Limited Edition. Following Piaget's official naming of its Warhol-inspired line in 2024, this latest edition represents a dynamic fusion of art, craftsmanship, and legacy - translating Warhol's distinct visual language into a wearable work of art."
"The dial of the Andy Warhol Watch "Collage" is an extraordinary feat of craftsmanship. Executed in a painstaking marquetry of colorful ornamental gemstones, it evokes Warhol's vibrant visual sensibility with remarkable depth and detail. Each piece of stone has been hand-cut and fitted into place, creating an abstract mosaic that feels both spontaneous and deliberate - much like Warhol's own process of collage-making."
"The relationship between Piaget and Andy Warhol stretches back decades, rooted in their shared appreciation for creativity, precision, and luxury. Warhol, an avid collector of Piaget watches, famously favored a 1973 cushion-shaped model - a design that continues to inspire Piaget's modern interpretations. The Maison's 2024 declaration of the "Andy Warhol Watch" as an official line was more than a tribute; it was a reaffirmation of Piaget's enduring connection to artistry, cultural dialogue, and bold design expression."
Piaget and the Andy Warhol Foundation created the Andy Warhol Watch "Collage" Limited Edition that merges pop art aesthetics with Swiss haute horlogerie. The watch draws on a decades-long relationship and on Warhol's personal affinity for Piaget, especially a 1973 cushion-shaped model. The dial features painstaking gemstone marquetry with hand-cut ornamental stones assembled into an abstract mosaic evoking Polaroid collage techniques. The design emphasizes texture, repetition, and layered meaning while maintaining precision engineering. The edition underscores a fusion of art, craftsmanship, and legacy presented as a wearable collectible.
