ELIA Wristwatches, the Hands of Time that Shape Art
Painting the time: this is what Elia does. As a painter and sculptor, he decorates watches for the Grimoldi brand in his eponymous collection.
“The watch makes the paint come to life from the inside, the perception of time is lost through the paint, it is slowed down and expanded; as precision fades away, an awareness of time and beauty appears.”
Fine copper threads are shaped by the artist into abstract and stylized elements that blend into a stream of color that flows in these timepieces.
The result is a collection of weird and unusual watches that, above all, remain unique watches.
Panta Rhei: Elia's 2021 wristwatches collection
The new collection of artistic wristwatches designed by Elia for Grimoldi is inspired by the passage of time, an element that transports, transforms and accompanies.
This dynamic dimension is represented by inserting, almost randomly, figures suspended in currents of color that ideally accompany them towards their destiny.

ELIA's artistic wristwatches
These amazing watches are characterized by a Swiss-made automatic movement and screw-down crowns. The timepieces are granted a guarantee by the Grimoldi family, a prestigious Italian name in the watchmaking and jewelry industries, renowned in Milan’s fashion district and worldwide.
Every year, the mechanical watches are presented at Baselworld, the world's leading event in the industry, in Basel, Switzerland. In addition to Elia’s artistic flair, expressed in every single dial, what makes the watches so exclusive is the choice of premium quality materials, from mineral crystals to leather straps and ergonomic steel cases that assure a perfectly comfortable fit on the wrist.

From Watch to Packaging
The artistic and cool watches in the ELIA collection are inspired by the artist’s passion for poetry and art, expressed in the meticulous brush strokes he paints on the dials, making them absolute jewels and unique pieces.
Moreover, Elia’s flair goes beyond the wristwatch: the packaging includes a small painted canvas with written rhymes.
Art for your wrist: ladies’ and men’s watches
ELIA watches are designed for men and women alike. Classical in style, with a contemporary spin, the timepieces have lines that flow in organic shapes as the ovals in models The Music of Art and Small World; or in peculiar shapes as the ones in Rinascita, inspired by Italy and its renewed beauty.
The collaboration between the Grimoldi family and Elia has been strong for multiple years and continues to this day with limited edition designs that never cease to delight.
