Maybe I'm reading too much into this but I also see this watch as referential and honoring Haze's friends. While the design of the motifs are different, Haze often used crowns to refer link to his late friend Basquiat link and stars for Haring, like in this 2021 piece "A pile of crowns and stars for Jean and Keith". link Whether or not I'm right, it's the nature of art to be interpreted and imbued with the viewer's feelings, and this one hit me in the gut.

When I was young in the Vallee de Joux I grew up watching my father at the workbench link but it wasn't until I was around 12 years old that I first told my father I wanted to link be a watchmaker, she told me. "We started to argue about the idea. He told me I was intelligent enough to go to the university and do something more important, link but this is what I knew I wanted to do."
