You have to explain this watch of 23,000 euros

Art on the wrist. This watch is not as easy to explain as a Rolex or an AP. You are looking at the Ressence x Alain Silberstein Grail Watch 1.

Look, art is something elusive anyway. Some see something beautiful in it and are willing to pay millions of euros for a painting or sculpture. Another shrugs, not feeling the artist’s magic. So it will be with this watch.

The Ressence x Alain Silberstein Grail Watch 1 is an art form brought to a watch. If you don’t know what it is, it looks irreverently like a children’s timepiece. In sheer ignorance you have no idea what exactly this is supposed to represent.

However, it is a huge exclusive watch with a price tag of more than 20,000 euros. Only 36 of these will be made and the special watch is already sold out.

The watch is a collaboration between Ressence and Alain Silberstein. The appearance of the timepiece is an interpretation of Vanitas, a painting by Philippe de Champaigne. The piece of art on the wrist is 41.5 mm in size and encased in a titanium case. Owners of the watch will receive this timepiece with a calf leather strap.

Whether you understand the romance or not. The fact remains that this is something special for a select audience.
