Swatch have just launched two new watches designed by Jean-Michel Othoniel: 'Over The Rainbow' and 'Be Black'. Blogger extraordinaire Amelia Gregory was invited to attend the fairytale watch launch in Venice. Read her report for Amelia's Magazine here.
I did an illustration for the article showing 'Be Black' suspended over a sparkling Venetian waterway at sunset. I thought it way pretty romantic.

Here are some of Amelia's photos from the launch.
Jean-Michel Othoniel is a French artist with a penchant for glass and draping giant jewellery on trees and buildings. Decadent and delicate, full of colour and light, his work is the perfect partner for canals and Venetian architecture. The following is some of Othoniel's dazzling ouvre.
