This unique watch pays homage to the fascinating painting Icarus Atlanticus: Allegory of the Vanity of Man (by Ger Lataster), a work that depicts human ambition and the dangers of hubris. The artwork depicts the mythical story of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun and saw his wax and feather wings melt. The powerful symbolism of Icarus overstepping his limits serves as a warning against human vanity and self-aggrandisement.
The colours in the painting, a vibrant mix of blue, yellow and orange, symbolise both the sky and fire - elements that sealed Icarus' fate. The abstract brushstrokes add another layer of meaning, emphasising the transience of human experience. This watch, with its detailed reproduction of the artwork, captures the essence of this profound message.
With its silver metal case and black leather strap, this watch is not only a functional accessory, but also a deeply symbolic reflection on human vanity and the risks of boundless ambition.
