In collaboration with the David Bowie Estate, Swiss watch company Raymond Weil has paid pays homage to the musician with a specially made timepiece.
The limited edition Freelancer ‘David Bowie’ serves as a tribute to his life and musical career of the singer who passed away last year.
Created to celebrate what would have been Bowie’s 70th birthday, this timepiece is dedicated to a few of the many personas created by the musician.
Online store WatchShop.com has been confirmed as one of the first UK retailers offering this to the British David Bowie fans.
The Freelancer ‘David Bowie’ has a 42mm diameter case and contains a dial resembling a vinyl record.
Amongst the key design features is the red lightning bolt associated with the musician at the 12 o’clock point of the watch.
Produced in a 3,000-piece limited, numbered series, the Freelancer ‘David Bowie’ beats to the tempo of a mechanical self-winding movement that appears beneath a portrait of David Bowie, immortalised in 1974 by famous photographer Terry O’Neill.
The piece is available on Watchshop.com and priced at £1,395.
