ART & TIME presents – Meeting of The Masters Series
An extraordinary convergence of mastery, heritage, and innovation.
ART & TIME proudly unveils the Meeting of The Masters Series — an exclusive collaboration between three world-renowned houses of excellence. In a historic fusion of art, horology, and craftsmanship, this series celebrates the unique vision and virtuosity of:
Backes & Strauss – The Masters of Diamonds
Antonio Natale – The Artist of Banknotes
Franck Muller Watchland – The Master of Complications
Together, these icons have conceived a one-of-a-kind, timepiece that embodies the spirit of rarity, elegance, and storytelling. It is called, THE IMPERIAL MOSAIC.
Designed by Antonio Natale, the watches in these series transform the intricate symbolism of currency into timeless works of wearable art. Each piece is meticulously crafted within Franck Muller Watchland, where mechanical mastery meets conceptual audacity, and adorned with the unrivaled brilliance of diamonds by Backes & Strauss.
This series is more than a watch collection — it is a dialogue between disciplines, a testament to shared excellence, and a celebration of timeless value in every sense of the word.
Welcome to a new era where Art meets Time.
Antonio Natale, the contemporary artist renowned for his intricate paintings on banknotes, often explores themes of value, currency, and cultural identity through his unique medium. His work brings a fresh perspective to traditional symbols of wealth, transforming everyday currency into pieces of high art by layering intricate designs and vivid colors over familiar denominations.
“Our story has been one of passion, determination and unrivalled craftsmanship in the pursuit of excellence. As we celebrate our 235th anniversary this year, our mission remains to be the quintessential jewelry timepiece creator, all the while staying true to our four core values; excellence, beauty, innovation and sustainability.”
