2012 starts with a surprise which no one knows when it will be released. 2 new watches are designed and dedicated to the artist Moby, www.moby.com
The protagonist of a lot of his videos is represented in the 2 watches, “Natural Blues” maybe the most well-known.
The character was created by Little Idiot Moby at the age of 17 and became the icon of the young illustrators collective, the link to their site is: http://www.thelittleidiot.com/
