Senses heightened, I scan the alley and again check the time on my Luminor Marina 8 Days Titanio PAM 564. Panerai originally developed the watch in partnership with Rolex for the use of the Italian Frogmen – the elite maritime special operations unit that served in World War II. The large, luminescent rolex watch dupe numerals ensured legibility in murky water, and they’re proving legitimately useful all these years later in the muddy alleyway.

It seems that Raymond Weil has crafted this piece with both the watch collector and the art enthusiast in mind. From the surface level, this watch toes the line between the playful and the refined – which is not unlike Basquiat's work itself. A color palette dominated by the primary colors most often featured in the artist's work is set link against a largely black background, which has the effect of balancing boldness with subtlety.
