The Golden Reef
MEET @thedialARTIST
- Chris Alexander The Dial Artist, Chris Alexander, is a celebrated British artist known for transforming watch dials into vibrant works of art. With over 20 years of experience and a Master's in Design, he creates unique pieces that blend contemporary art with precision watchmaking, turning timepieces into moving galleries for collectors worldwide.
Crafted through a meticulous process unique to The Dial Artist, each dial is an artistic symphony of natural oxidation and 24-carat gold leaf. The layered technique creates rich, organic patterns that evoke aerial views of the Great Barrier Reef, while the golden accents mirror Australia's shimmering coastline. Each piece emerges from this artistic process entirely unique - a one-of-a-kind canvas that tells its own story of ocean depths and sun-touched shores.
