Prospective purchasers are advised that several co… 显示更多 Dino and Roberto Falcone, father and son, watch- and case-makers in Milan, produced only few examples of highly unusual and asymmetrical watches, always gold and with or without complications. Their creations are considered works of art and are amongst the rarest specimen to be offered at international watch auctions. In fact, this group must be considered the richest and most important selection of the famous "horological artists" Falcone-workshop to be offered in over a decade. Never offered for auction before, these were acquired directly from the Falcones. The asymmetrical models are designed after the 'limp' watch in Salvador Dali's painting The Persistence of Memory, 1931, exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Dali got his inspiration for the 'limp' watch from Camembert cheese and described it with the phrase "nothing else than the tender, extravagant and solitary paranoic-critical Camembert of time and space". Two other examples of Falcone watches are illustrated in Die schönsten Armbanduhren vergangener Jahrzehnte by Giampiero Negretti/Franco Nencini, p. 46.
