Uruguay-born artist Eduardo Milieris has been fascinated by the integration of art and time since he was a child. Today he combines art with time in his beautiful limited-edition watches.

Milieris' designs are "industrial chic": made from recycled metals, embellished with sterling silver, copper, and brass. The metals are distressed and oxidized to give the watches a look akin to "buried treasure." Finally, the artist paints each watch face by hand, giving it a distinct appearance. "My timepieces suggest the reality of constant change and evolution."

"I was born in 1960 in Montevideo, Uruguay. An exhibit of Alexander Calder's work gave me my first, and longest-lasting influence in art. After the show I went home, painted my first "sunny-side-ups", and converted them into clocks. I was seven years old."

Today a line of more than 100 unique watches are crafted in Milieris' New York City studio. Watchcraft (R) is represented by over 400 galleries, and museum stores around the world.
