Soothing and calming, blue is a timeless choice in horology
The following new watches demonstrate why blue is a perennial favourite with watchmakers and collectors.
Inspired by one of Andy Warhol’s most treasured watches, the Piaget Andy Warhol watch replicates the 1970s cushion-shaped case and embellishes it with one of horology’s most divine decorative elements, the Clou de Paris guilloché motif. The tiny, pyramid-like squares evoke the appearance of a diamond-set surface. The watch is complemented with a blue meteorite dial.
This retro-chic watch is a collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, which supports support the creation, presentation and documentation of contemporary visual arts, particularly work that is experimental, under-recognised or challenging in nature.

After last year’s Green Lum, Bell & Ross now introduces the Blue Lum for the BR-X5 watch. Luminescent elements typically appear on the time indicators, making them legible in dim conditions. However, the brand’s R&D team has also found a way to illuminate the entire case with LM3D, a photoluminescent composite material consisting of quartz fibres.
