Damien Hirst For Panerai: Two Spin Paintings Using Panerai Dials Unveiled At The Triennale In Milan

Early this month in Milan, two new paintings were unveiled by famed British artist Damien Hirst in conjunction with a fantastic exhibit at the Triennale Art Museum, OClock - time design, design time (full report on that coming).

Hirst is an avid collector of Panerai watches and the brand has actually made appearances in previous examples of his work: a Panerai watch is painted on a table next to medicines and a skull in Skull with Watch from 2005 and is physically present in the installations The Tranquility of Solitude (for George Dyer) (2006), and Killing Time (2008).

In these two works, Panerai is even more present. Both of the works are examples of his now famous "spin paintings", but what you below is a canvas covered in paint, as well as actual Panerai dials. Atop the dials is simple household gloss. The large circular painting is titled "Beautiful Sunflower Panerai Painting" and the smaller piece below is, very aptly, "Beautiful Fractional Sunflower Panerai Painting."

While the Hirst paintings may have been the focal point at OClock - time design, design time, there were two dozen other fantastic time-related works that we will be showing you next week. Click through to see both works in full.

Apart from these two jewels, other items belonging to Ruth Maddof were also sold, and they brought in a total of $2million. Bernie Maddof’s Rolex “Moon Phase” also went under the hammer for $67,500. A Steinway & Sons grand piano also brought in $42,000. The couple’s king-sized bed went for $2,250. Who bought the bed?

Bernie’s velvet slippers with his initials stitched in gold thread were sold for an amazing $6,000. Some man even bought his unused box

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual 16124SQ Watch Available On James List

Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre expelled this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar (ref. 16124SQ) watch - as well as it still looks beautiful today. With an original cost of about $100,000 , there have been (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black 'frosted' transformation is amazing to demeanour at, but you'll have to forgive the pattern for creation we hunt the bit for all the report which we have available upon the dial. The transformation tone is essentially due to ruthenium, as well as there have been pure discs all over the dial. Set in the 41mm wide 18k pinkish bullion "Master" pick up case, the watch nicely mixes classical Jaeger-LeCoultre cultured with the visible seductiveness of the complicated style skeletonized movement. Legibility is maintained through use of bullion hands as well as hour markers which contrast with the gray alternative elements which have been great. Jaeger-LeCoultre knows which people wearing the watch will be primar
