Surrealist painter René Magritte is known for his playful provocation and witty humor. To mark the 125-year anniversary of his birth, two watches translate his most famous paintings into wearable art.
Magritte’s iconic puns adorn the strap of this watch with humorous irony while silver-colored hands glisten on the dial. One thing is for sure: this is not a pipe!
At Swatch, our love for art runs deep. Our work with emerging and distinguished artists, designers and architects as well as our collaborations with celebrated museums and art institutions clearly show our strong bond with art.
