Komono x Jean-Michel Basquiat Watch Collection

Basquiat x Komonowearekomono.com

Hip-hop has been fascinated with the late graffiti writer/painter Jean-Michel Basquiat ever since Swizz Beatz displayed his artwork on Reebok sneakers and Jay Z referenced him on ‘Picasso Baby.’


If you can’t afford one of Basquiat’s million-dollar paintings, here’s the next best thing.


Watchmaker Komono has partnered with the Basquiat estate to create a line of six timepieces that boasts the artist’s most creative works on the wristbands. All of the water-resistant watches feature a metal display, Japanese Quartz movement, a stainless steel back and come in a printed case of Basquiat’s painting.


Komono’s Jean-Michel Basquiat Watch Collection is a cool mash-up of fine art and fashionable accessory. Add some sophistication to your wrist game with these timepieces.


The collection is available in limited quantities at wearekomono.com in prices ranging from $95 to $120.


Check out the capsule below.
