DESCRIPTION

With ‘Sơn Mài - Year of the Sssnake’, AWAKE signs a wink to the tradition of the Chinese zodiac that is both artisanal and artistic. This limited edition of 50 combines oriental astrology, contemporary creativity and Vietnamese ancestral skills to celebrate the Year of the Snake with boldness - and an assertive rock n' roll style.

Since 2017, Chris Alexander, aka The Dial Artist, has established himself as one of the most singular talents on the contemporary watchmaking scene. Known for his dials bursting with color and life, he blurs the boundaries between watchmaking and modern art with panache. This first exclusive collaboration with AWAKE marks an important step since our entry into the world of Métiers d'Art. It is the result of a human and artistic encounter based on deep affinities: a love of color, a passion for materials, and respect for the craftsman.

50 "Designed to Be Different" dials will soon be gracing the wrists of enthusiasts who want to stand out from the crowd and see their watches not as status symbols but as personal statements of daring and style!
