An artist has made microscopic Vincent van Gogh replicas and painstakingly placed them inside a $190,000 wristwatch:
—have each been recreated by the British artist David Lindon. Each measures about half a millimeter.for about $192,800. It is made of gold, micro pigments, and nylon.
The idea for the watch came about because Hammond and Lindon both wanted to create a “wearable art gallery” that combines the intricacies of a watch with Lindon’s skill at creating detailed microscopic paintings to highlight the Van Gogh Museum’s 50th anniversary. Lindon must overcome “monumental challenges” that push him to the limits of mental and physical endurance, he said. A single painting can take up to three months to complete and, with one wrong flick, months of work could go flying “into the unknown oblivion.”
“When I sit down at the microscope, I must have prepared for the rigors to come. Eating the right food, having a well-maintained body and a clear focused mind,” Lindon said.
