Timeless creations

Many high-end watch brands have launched new designs in time for the New Year. Beijing Weekend Guide selects some of the best in town.

Swiss watchmaker Movado has released its latest Artists' Series, a suite of six colorful dials designed by American artist Kenny Scharf, known for his cartoon-style paintings. His works are something between pop culture and fine art.

The six watches he designed are Movado Time, Blurple Time, Universal Time, Starring the Star, Ontime and Time Flies. Each one features strange patterns, pictures and colors. For instance, the watch Time Flies features a weird flying bird picture on the dial, which might remind you of something in Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas.
