Daniel Strom definitely doesn’t do conventional! The watchmaker, designer and philosopher loves to play with contrasts, including in potentially disturbing ways.
Memento Mori, Carpe Noctem is no exception to this rule and the latest addition to the Agonium collection is sure to make its own impact. Behind its solid steel case adorned with skulls lies the same penchant for provocation. Behind its curves, incisions and cut-outs lies the same attention to detail. And behind the blood-red almost hypnotic appearance lies the ancestral Japanese art of Urushi.
And for all those to whom Carpe Diem means breaking free of time, Daniel Strom interprets his philosophy through a range of trendy, mystical accessories. The Bienne-based watchmaker offers a range of provocative and evocative objects comprising pendants, belt buckles and a Michaeli ring. Stylish accessories indeed, but above all reflecting the spirit of the Agonium collection: life, death and “Memento Mori. Carpe Diem”. Because timepieces do not have a monopoly on symbolism!
