Hampton Hommage à Pierre Soulages

Baume & Mercier is proud and honored to pay tribute to one of the great masters of modern art. The House takes inspiration from his work as a whole to produce a unique timepiece, an original creation: the Hampton “Hommage à Pierre Soulages.” In the exciting, innovative interaction between art and watchmaking, technical achievement is the keystone of the Hampton “Hommage à Pierre Soulages.” The watch dial miniaturization is a fascinating interpretation of a large-scale painting. Shrinking meters down into millimeters is a thrilling transformation. This unique timepiece, of an exceptional technical and aesthetic complexity, offers a harmonious play on contrasting blacks through subtle nuances of mattes, semi-mattes, shine and diffuse layers, in keeping with the spirit of Pierre Soulages’ work. The strength of black is majestically represented in this tribute to the paintings of one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
