With a Master’s Degree in Design, 15 years as a Lecturer in Art and Design, and constantly dipping his arms up to his elbows in any creative project, Chris has always had a passion for creativity. Through 'The Dial Artist' Chris is seamlessly merging his experience and talent in art and design with his passion for horology.Chris executes meticulously detailed hand painted works of art onto tiny watch dial canvases. Developing his craft over the last 5 years, his work goes from strength to strength, with each and every newly painted dial pushing the boundaries of possibilities few can ever achieve. With a passion for Abstract and Graffiti Art, Chris has become synonymous for his Abstract dial effects, whilst also being able to adapt his style to create fine art dials.Chris always has something lined up to paint or design. You will find Chris painting in his home studio until to 2-3am almost every week night. When he is not painting he is posting and responding to Instagram messages and emails, much to his wife's annoyance.Go hard or go home....but shove the kettle on for him before you leave!
