Japanese clothing label BEAMS recently launched a new line of timepieces entitled the OG Watch Collection. The new timepieces are crafted to celebrate the works of the late and great artist Keith Haring. Each piece shows off the artist's original artwork on its face.
The OG Watch Collection has 10 colorways in total, comprised of bands that boast colors such as black, bright blue, red, orange, green, white and purple. The center of the watch also inlcudes an assortment of even more colors. Although the timepieces boast vibrant colors, the main focus is the pop art by Keith Haring that covers the face. The 10 watches are available on BEAMS' website.
