DAVID BOWIE

DAVID BOWIE

MUSIC ICONS

In collaboration with the David Bowie Estate, RAYMOND WEIL pays homage to legendary musician – David Bowie.

The Limited Edition freelancer “David Bowie”, is a tribute to the life and musical career of one of the most influential artists of all time.

​

Created to celebrate what would have been Bowie’s 70th birthday.

​

To celebrate the immortal David Bowie, RAYMOND WEIL has chosen its most free-spirited model – freelancer. Its 42 mm diameter case contains a dial resembling a vinyl record clearly featuring some of the most emblematic design cues of the British artist.

​

Amongst the key design features, the lightning bolt painted across his face that first appeared on the cover of the Aladdin Sane album in 1973. The instantly distinctive mark universally recognised, the stylised lightning bolt is featured in red at 12 o’clock.

​

The pop art logo designed by Andy Warhol especially for David Bowie and revealed on the cover of the album Diamond Dogs in 1974 makes its mark on the dial of the David Bowie Limited Edition.

​

Produced in a 3,000-piece limited, numbered series, the freelancer “David Bowie” beats to the tempo of a mechanical self-winding movement that appears beneath a portrait of David Bowie, immortalised in 1974 by famous photographer of legends, Terry O’Neill. A photograph printed on the sapphire of the watch’s case-back, from which this artist in his own league challenges the world with his atypical, magnetic gaze.
