Combining modernism, abstractionism, surrealism, cubism, Pop Art, and some other art movements, contemporary art is sometimes difficult to explain and to understand. However, it still inspires millions of people, showing them a very different world than the one we live in today. Contemporary art takes many forms. However, be it painting, sculpture, multimedia, or photograph, they all enjoy success on the art market. Needless to say that there are artworks by living artists sold at auctions for millions of dollars, often exceeding their high estimate.

In this blog post, we want to introduce several outstanding examples of contemporary art inspired by Haute Horlogerie. Created in a variety of styles, from sculptures to drawings and paintings, this new movement is highly popular today, especially among luxury watch fans and collectors. So if you are choosing art for your home or office, do not miss the works by the following talented artists!
