First launched in 1990 by Swiss brand Exaequo, it was a nod to the soft melting clocks in Salvador Dali’s paintings. As the iterations progressed, the brand got bolder and printed Dali’s signature on the dial, which was both the company’s downfall and the one move that inadvertently accounts for much of its collectability. Not surprisingly, the estate of Dali sued the company, leading to its closure. The version here is a 3rd Series with said coveted Dali signature, a much friendlier caseback for movement access, and in a smaller more wearable size. Superbly cohesive in details for an affordable watch; just check out the buckle and strap tail. A super fun, solidly built, discontinued collectible, never to be repeated exactly this way due to legalities. A unique experience of wearable art and a real conversation starter. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9\/10 with hardly any signs of use.
