Hysek is responsible for some of the most successful wristwatch designs over the past 30 years and has worked with many of the most prestigious horological companies. Jorg Hysek, who pursued studies in the fine arts, sculpture, and painting in his native Germany, turned his passion for art into a career dedicated to the revolutionary design of timepieces. This has allowed him to link sculpture and the tactile sense. Hysek’s paintings are a source of inspiration for his timepiece creations. Symbols and sublimations of his love of art and horology, these 20 paintings demonstrate the creative evolution of Jorg Hysek.
