Eduardo Milieris, Watchcraft®
Artist's Statement
Uruguay-born artist Eduardo Milieris has been fascinated by the
integration of art and time since he was a child. Today he combines
art with time in his beautiful limited-edition watches. Milieris'
designs are "industrial chic" made from recycled metals,
embellished with sterling silver, copper, and brass. The metals are
distressed and oxidized to give the watches a look akin to "buried
treasure." Finally, the artist paints each watch face by hand,
giving it a distinct appearance. Milieris timepieces suggest the reality
of constant change and evolution.
Milieris works on silver,
copper, and brass in the same ways they were used hundreds of years
ago, preserving a tradition of craftsmanship.
