This rare and limited-edition timepiece, titled “Lady of Crete,” is numbered only 999 pieces ever produced—designed and inspired by the legendary actor and artist Anthony Quinn. A seamless blend of fine art and Swiss horology, this watch features a textured 18kt gold dial, meticulously crafted to replicate Quinn’s original painting Lady of Crete. His engraved signature above the rotor further elevates its exclusivity, along with the individually numbered series marking (e.g., xxx/999).

Encased in solid 18kt yellow gold, the 32mm x 42mm rectangular case houses a 25-jewel automatic movement, powered by the prestigious Caliber 953 from Frédéric Piguet, a movement celebrated for its precision, elegance, and thin profile. The transparent caseback reveals the gold rotor finished with Côtes de Genève, bearing Quinn’s signature, further emphasizing this watch’s status as a functional sculpture.

The piece is completed by a deep blue crocodile leather strap with a tang buckle, combining luxurious materials with artistic gravitas. Water-resistant to 3 ATM, this watch remains as practical as it is poetic.

Officially unveiled at the American Craft Museum in New York, the Lady of Crete was part of Anthony Quinn’s inaugural horological collection, blending his lifelong passion for painting, sculpture, and time.

Anthony Quinn’s legacy spans not only over 200 films and two Academy Awards but also a profound and lifelong dedication to the visual arts. Like Picasso, whom he admired, Quinn translated his passion into sculpture and painting. This watch—like his art—is an embodiment of his belief that "time is the best sculptor."
