Skulls motifs have only risen in popularity I recent years. Thanks
to Damien Hurst’s diamond encrusted skull art and Alexander McQueen skull print
scarfs, the skull is stretching a fashion moment into a permanent micro-trend.
Damien Hurst's Swarovski encrusted skull
I have seen several skull themed watches on the market but
none so impressive as this offering from Scottish Designer and Creative Consultant
Fiona Kruger.
Designed around the themes of time and mortality and reminiscent
of Mexican sugar skulls, Kruger’s Momento Mori skull watch is as haunting as it
is beautifully crafted.
The highly detailed timepiece features a 3 layer dial and a high
quality Technotime movement, which can be seen through the artfully cut layers.
I originally saw this watch featured in an article in The Jewellery Editor, a
go-to place for the more exotic and luxurious watches coming to market.
I’d love to get my hands on a sample, figuring out the
different layers of this lovingly crafted piece. This isn't just a watch, this is a work of art.
Happy Halloween everyone.
