Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
“Not For You” × Monica Bonvicini TimeForArt Unique Edition
Created exclusively for TimeForArt, the Louis Erard x Monica Bonvicini “Not For You” transforms the artist’s sculptural language into a striking wristwatch. Mirror-polished lettering dominates the silver-toned Clou de Paris dial, confronting the viewer while reflecting their image and adding a personal dimension to Bonvicini’s recurring phrase.
First introduced in her work in 2006, “not for you” takes on an intimate meaning here. The black leather strap bears Bonvicini’s handwritten signature, accompanied by a red “work of art – do not wear” seal.
The 39 mm watch includes two additional straps for different wrist sizes, preserving the signed original. The lot is completed by a hand-signed Ventile travel pouch and certificate of authenticity.
