Plaza Watch magazine features “Temp Nouveau” a shoot with exquisite watches that incorporates the ornate and floral stylings of the turn of the century Art Nouveau posters. The editorial shot by Mierswa-Kluska is an hommage to the father of the Art Nouveau style, Czech artist Alphonse Mucha‘s (1860-1939), whose 150th birthday is celebrated this year, along with luxury watchmakers Chopard, Panerai (both also celebrating their 150th birthday) and Tag Heuer (celebrating its 40th birthday).

I love the concept but the result is somewhat clumsy. The watches look so pasted on, I don’t think it’s prety. :/

Great to see your art here, i think more people should know about Alphonse Mucha as i love his art as well.
Old art always gets re-worked by new artists all the time, and i wish you good luck with your own items shown here.
