For my watch, I incorporated bronze to symbolize the famous
Charging Bull, originally a guerilla art piece that now sits in the
heart of the Financial District in NYC and serves as a symbol
of financial success and the unbounding spirit of the American
people.”
Hush, whose art is prominently found throughout various
districts of Los Angeles, designed the Spirit of Big Bang
West Coast Ceramic Black and White for Hublot, inspired
by Hollywood icons to represent West Coast “Fame” and
manifested itself as a black-and-white woman’s portrait
splashed across the case back in a multi-colored collage of
mixed media. The timepiece features a skeletonized dial, or
“Aerofusion” encased by a white ceramic bezel. Hush’s frescoes
have appeared throughout the heart of LA’s shopping district
on Melrose, downtown LA’s art district, posh streets in West
Hollywood, and ocean-side in Santa Monica.
The case back displays a medley of motifs that illustrate a Wall
Street theme, including an image of a bull, money sign, and
Wall Street sign.
Some of Tristan’s most iconic murals are found in New York
City, including the eye-catching mural of Audrey Hepburn in
Little Italy, “The Monster Within” in Brooklyn’s Coney Island,
“Big City of Dreams” between Mulberry and Lafayette in
Soho, and “Liberty” downtown which inspired Hublot’s first
collection with the artist.
As for Tristan Eaton’s piece, the Classic Fusion Bronze,
features brushed bronze and polished gold-plated appliques to
represent East Coast “Fortune”, and specifically the Charging
Bull sculpture symbolizing New York City’s Financial District.
