The present timepiece belongs to a very small and exclusive group of watches combining two highly complex complications: a world time function and a flyback chronograph. The timepiece, which is made in a ceramized titanium case, is incredibly sturdy and lightweight. At three o'clock, the crown controls the world time function, which enables the city ring to rotate smoothly for simple time zone switching.
This watch carries an extraordinary provenance. The singer Andrea Bocelli gave it to Quincy Jones during the Andrea Bocelli Foundation's opening ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. At that time, the brand collaborated with the globally recognized musician to commemorate the foundation's launch, where Bocelli gave Quincy Jones the inaugural foundation award in appreciation of his lifetime dedication to international charitable endeavors.
Quincy Jones
Throughout his career, Quincy Jones has continuously pushed artistic and cultural boundaries, making him one of the most influential figures in American music. He transformed the musical landscape as a songwriter, producer, composer, and arranger by fusing pop, soul, jazz, and hip-hop into innovative works. Beyond his accomplishments in music, Jones was instrumental in changing the industry as a whole. He was the first Black executive at a major American record label and opened doors in film scoring during a period when there were very few opportunities for Black composers.
Over the decades, Jones has been behind some of the most iconic works in modern music history. He led the worldwide charity single 'We Are the World', which sold over 20 million copies and raised over $63 million for humanitarian aid in Africa, and produced Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', the best-selling album of all time. His reputation as one of the most significant producers of the 20th century has been solidified by his ability to combine artistic brilliance with cultural influence.
Jones, who has won an Emmy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award in addition to an incredible 28 Grammy Awards, is one of the few multidisciplinary talents to have attained EGOT status. In addition to exhibiting unparalleled creative versatility, his career has had a long lasting impact on both the music industry and larger cultural history.
