Watches & Art: When art meets watchmaking

Pedral Watches introduces Watches & Art: The Best of Both Worlds, a one-of-a-kind collection that blends watchmaking excellence with modern art expression. A limited series that combines mechanical accuracy with Boris Pjanic’s unique paintings.

Pedral Watches is pleased to present Watches & Art: The Best of Both Worlds, a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition collection that combines watchmaking perfection with modern art expression. This one-of-a-kind collaboration brings together Pedral, artist and independent watch dealer Boris Pjanic, and the premium strap makers at REM Straps.

The collection’s focal point is a set of five remarkable dials inspired by Boris’ original paintings. His creations, turned into spatial, 3D printed dials, retain the texture, depth, and emotional aspect of the original painting.

Each watch is contained in the Artefact casing, which has exquisite 39 mm proportions. Each model is completed by hand-made, eco-tanned straps with laser engraving by REM Straps that are color-matched to each dial, making it an expression of craftsmanship and artistic vision.

The technical enhancements include an automated Miyota Cal. 9039 that is manually regulated to a precision of ±10 seconds/day, diamond-cut skeleton hands with blue accents, and hand-applied indexes. This combines engineering precision with beauty.

Each edition is tightly restricted to 15 pieces that are uniquely numbered. The first purchasers will get an extra set of personalized REM straps.

Release schedule: VIP pre-sale on Easter, April 20 at 08:00 (New York), 14:00 (London), and 20:00 (Hong Kong).
