OBJECT DESCRIPTION
DAEM is a Brooklyn-based company that creates luxury watches through world-class design and collaborations. DAEM watched are manufactured in Switzerland and are a unique blend of fashion, art, and human narratives formed into an original, distinctive aesthetic.
This DAEM x Jean-Michel Basquiat Collection features three designs featuring the work of the iconic artist blended with DAEM's high-end cultural aesthetic. The Skull design is an automatic watch that blends two of Basquiat's most powerful works. His Untitled artwork (commonly referred to as Skull) and Undiscovered Genius. Skull was presented at his debut solo exhibition in New York and captures Basquiat's anxiety and pressure as he worked to be commercially successful. Undiscovered Genius reflects societal plights facing America. It taps into the auditory quality of Basquiat’s work, using words and rhythmic sounds that can be passed down through generations.
The complexity of both pieces of art are tied together through the multi- jewel automatic movement of the timepiece - the brain that powers the watch.

DAEM is a Brooklyn-based company that creates luxury watches through world-class design and collaborations. DAEM watched are manufactured in Switzerland and are a unique blend of fashion, art, and human narratives formed into an original, distinctive aesthetic.
This DAEM x Jean-Michel Basquiat Collection features three designs featuring the work of the iconic artist blended with DAEM's high-end cultural aesthetic. The Now's the Time Watch incorporates the artist's iconic work “Now’s The Time" (1985). The title is a tribute reference to jazz musician Charlie Parker’s 1945 song of the same name and conveys that, despite the precision of time, there's something beautiful in focusing solely on the here and now.
The canvas strap pays homage to an iconic William Coupon portrait of Jean-Michel highlighting his sense of style in the 80’s. The back of the watch features Basquiat‘s signature crossed over the DAEM logo to put the essence of human before enterprise.

Set upon metallic gold-plated casing and a custom designed emblem, this watch offers a new take on strength and royalty, and one that was born from the trials and tribulations of the streets. The case back portrays the background of Basquiat's own notebook journal where he shared vivid thoughts and reflections.
