Bamford Watch Department works together with Daniel Arsham, Franck Muller, and King Nerd on limited timepieces. The powerful group came into fruition when Daniel Arsham brought up enquires about crafting a custom watch. He approached George Bamford, the founder of BWD two years ago with the request if the studio could create a unique Casablanca by Franck Muller for him.
This followed with more conversation about engraving the case and how King Nerd can contribute as well. The result is an automatic watch entirely wrapped in the Arsham Studio monogram print in different applications. This is seen on the dial on the signature green base foundation with King Nerd's hand engravings on the stainless steel cases.
