Omega. A small sized white gold quartz and ceramic wristwatch from the 1987 Omega Art Collection
Omega 1987 Art Collection, Richard Paul Lohse edition, No.469/999, Circa 1987
Quartz movement, black dial with plain white gold stick hands, 18ct white gold case, the special edition case back with Ceramic Richard Paul Lohse case back held by 8 gold screws, very thin square lugs set within the case, case, dial and movement signed
22mm diameter
The announcement for this special edition art collection came from Omega in 1986, but the first models were not released until 1987. Interestingly, the project was managed by the first CEO of SME (Societe de Microelectronique et d'Horlogerie') which was later renamed as the Swatch group. The cases, designed by Hans Zaugg, used a new state of the art ceramic scratch resistant alloy and Omega commissioned a number of artists to design the medallions for the reverse. Among them was Richard Paul Lohse (September 13, 1902 – September 16, 1988) who was a Swiss painter and graphic artist and one of the main representatives of the concrete and constructive art movements. He was particularly known for his linear and colourful works of art.
