Basquiat Watch - Now Is The Time - Daem
Description
This Basquiat Watch represents: ' Now Is The Time'. Now’s The Time (1985) is an artful reference to jazz musician Charlie Parker’s 1945 song of the same name. The round vinyl shape and perfect imprecision allows DAEM to reimagine the traditional watch face. The patterned strap and colors were inspired by Basquiat's fashion in the early 1980's. The back of the watch features Basquiat‘s signature crossed over the DAEM logo to put the essence of human before enterprise.
