A DESIGN IN TIME

Artistic watch creations

• Elisabetta Fantone is a multifaceted Canadian artist, collected by the likes of Celine Dion, the Kardashians and the late Muhammad Ali. Collaborating with Corum to create one of the latest in the Bubble watch series, she has referenced and reimagined one of the most famous faces in the world – the Mona Lisa. With a thick sapphire crystal enclosing the centre dial, an optical illusion is created that magnifies the image, while the silver curve of the hands delicately trace the design.
