# Eccentric Dali Watches This Salvador Dali Watch Pays Homage to a Great Talent By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2013-12-05 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-watch References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/498514959202786890/Salvador-Dali-Watch) This Salvador Dali watch is a perfect accessory for [art aficionados](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-x-andy-warhol-collage). Dali is a surrealist painter as well known for his flamboyant moustache as he is for his [bizarre works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-x-shantell-martin-type-1-square) (the most famous being 'The Persistence of Memory.') This watch makes good use of his iconic 'stache; the clock face is Dali's own, while his moustache serves as the watch hands. Keeping with his bizarre, [surrealist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hublot-mp17-meca10), an ant ticks off the seconds by marching around the rim of the clock. Though this watch isn't melting, I have a feeling it'll satisfy Dali's biggest fans and supporters. The water-resistant watch has a Japanese Quartz movement and an idiosyncratic quality that perfectly pays homage to the eccentric artist. It will most definitely give your outfit an imaginative, offbeat twist. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) > [Holiday](https://www.trendhunter.com/holiday) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Timepieces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design watches that integrate famous artworks or iconic elements of artists to appeal to art aficionados. - **Surrealist-inspired Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unconventional fashion accessories that capture the spirit of surrealism and cater to those seeking unique and eccentric pieces. - **Iconic Influencer Collaborations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with renowned artists or celebrities to create limited edition merchandise that celebrates their distinctive style and appeals to their dedicated fan base. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market unconventional accessories that blend art and fashion, targeting a niche audience of art enthusiasts and collectors. - **Luxury Watches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce limited edition timepieces that showcase famous artworks, pushing the boundaries of traditional watch design and attracting affluent consumers seeking unique luxury items. - **Merchandise and Brand Collaborations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Forge collaborations between artists, influencers, and brands to create exclusive merchandise that combines their creative visions and captivates a dedicated fan base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-x-casetify.md) - [Surreal Artist-Inspired Tech Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dal-collection.md) - [Abstract Artwork-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ode-to-delaunay-watch.md) - [Iconic Artwork Watch Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-watches.md) - [Pop Art Luxe Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piaget-andy-warhol.md) - [Next-Gen Pocket Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arsham-droplet.md) - [Kinetic Art Wristwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-8-daniel-engelberg.md) - [Whimsical Regulator Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfrogettable.md) - [Cartoony Donut Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swatch-x-the-simpsons.md)
