Swatch New Gent GIRL by ROY LICHTENSTEIN Quartz Watch

This NEW GENT Watch features a 41mm round case with a push/pull crown and a water resistance of 100 Feet. It comes with a 2 Year International Warranty and free battery exchange at Swatch retail locations. The watch is part of the GIRL BY ROY LICHTENSTEIN collection, reproducing the renowned American artist's work "Girl".

The watch face displays a printed detail from Lichtenstein's pop art piece, while the matte blue case and strap are printed with the same artwork from this MoMA collaboration. Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997) was an American artist famous for his innovative use of comic book-inspired imagery and Ben-Day dots.

The original "Girl" work was a lithograph from Lichtenstein's 1963 illustrated book "1¢ Life", published in 1964. The lithograph measures 12 ¾ x 22" (32.4 x 55.9cm) in composition, with a sheet size of 16 1/8 x 22 13/16" (41 x 58 cm). It was published by Eberhard W. Kornfeld in Bern, Switzerland, and printed by Maurice Beaudet. The edition consisted of 100 special and 2,000 regular prints.

This iconic artwork is now immortalized on the face of the NEW GENT Watch, allowing wearers to carry a piece of Lichtenstein's legacy. The Museum of Modern Art in New York holds the original lithograph as a gift from the author, Walasse Ting, the editor, Sam Francis, and the publisher, E. W. Kornfeld.

In summary, the NEW GENT Watch in the GIRL BY ROY LICHTENSTEIN collection is a unique and collectable item that captures the essence of the renowned pop artist's iconic style. With its 41mm round case, 100 Feet water resistance, and 2-year warranty, this watch not only tells time but also serves as a wearable tribute to one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
