Pedral Watches Launches the "Watches & Art: The Best of Both Worlds"

On April 17, 2025, Pedral Watches showcased their latest innovation, a captivating capsule collection dubbed Watches & Art: The Best of Both Worlds. This limited-edition series artfully combines technical craftsmanship in watchmaking with the emotive power of contemporary art. Designed in collaboration with the esteemed artist and independent watch dealer Boris Pjanic and artisanal leather manufacturers REM Straps, this collection is set to enchant collectors and art enthusiasts alike.

A Creative Fusion of Art and Timekeeping

The essence of this collection lies in its five distinctive watch dials, each intricately inspired by Boris Pjanic’s original paintings. Boris, an established figure in the independent watchmaking sector and an ardent artist, translates the textures and layers of his paintings into stunning 3D-printed dial expressions. The result is a wonderful amalgamation of mechanical engineering and the expressive heart of fine art.

Pedral’s iconic Artefact case serves as the foundation for these unique pieces. This 39mm case is known for its elegant proportions and classic silhouette, providing the perfect stage for the elaborate dials. Each timepiece is complemented by leather straps from REM, which are tanned organically and laser-etched, transforming every watch into a tangible piece of artistry.

Technical Excellence Meets Artistic Intent

In addition to its artistic qualities, the Watches & Art collection includes sophisticated technical upgrades. The watches are powered by the Miyota Caliber 9039 automatic movement, meticulously regulated in-house to maintain a precision of ±10 seconds per day. Featuring diamond-cut skeleton hands accented with heat-blued details, and hand-applied indices, each watch is not only a timepiece but a statement of engineering excellence.

This exclusive collection is limited to just 15 pieces per dial, each uniquely numbered to ensure its scarcity and desirability. To enhance the experience, early customers will receive a complimentary bespoke strap set from REM Straps, along with a full one-year international warranty for peace of mind.
