Horological Art

[offshore]

Was doing a little research this Christmas morning, on a painting I received. ( Will post a photo later)

Stumbled across this site, and saw more than a few "different " pieces, from the sublime, to the ridiculous.

But they call this "Art"

Thought some of you may get kick out of some of this work.

Back to my initial thrust.

I received a contemporary painting of a watch face/s, purportedly an original. painted in '69.

It had been hanging in the corporate offices of a company, here in Oz, who went under.

My wife was at an auction, and picked it up for a few $$.

Has anyone collected any "watch" paintings? Is there a market/collectors?

As I said, will post a photo later ( I awoke to find every battery in the house flat... grrr ...women.. if they only told you!... I realise its too technical to put batteries in a charger after you use them....but at least tell me to recharge some... don't just use the lot, and say, " Darling , the camera's not working!")

Christmas morning here now in Oz, so the bigfella in red is winging his way westward, hope he brings you all what you are waiting for.
