1. Ulysee Nardin Classico Manara by Milo Manara
Milo Manara has created 10 illustrations in a series that Ulysse Nardin has reproduced for their watch dials using micro-painting. Artisans worked for a total of 50 hours to miniaturise each of the artist's drawings, on a surface that's 10 times smaller than Manara's original water colour paintings.
The artist: Italian erotic comic book artist Milo Manara is best known for creating illustrations of beautiful women. He's been a graphic illustrator for over 50 years, and was classically trained as a painter before defining his own unmistakable style.
The watch: A beautiful watch featuring Manara's micro-painted illustration of a woman sailing out to sea, this 40mm timepiece is limited to 10 pieces and comes with a self-winding movement. Its stainless steel polished case is water-resistant to 30m and comes with a blue alligator strap.
