The idea behind the Art Collection was simple, to create a small community of "insiders" who recognised that the watch being worn by the person next to them had a work of art by one of the leading contempory artists of the time on the case back.
Each back was limited to 999 examples and artists such as Max Bill and Arnaldo Pomodoro were involved in the project.
Today many watch makers have formed aliances with leading artists to design artworks for their watches or indead the watch itself, however in 1986 this idea was revolutionary.
