Watches: Louis Pion and Antik Batik, fall's ethnic chic collaboration

The watchmaker and the Parisian ready-to-wear brand have presented the fruit of their collaboration: a collection of bohemian chic watches that will be available for purchase come fall.

Eagerly awaited, this collaboration has managed to remain faithful to both brands, with travel and the Indian Summer the central themes. Antik Batik might however have the upper hand, what with the emphasis on an ethnic feel to the collection's pieces and a heavy Indian influence as far as the patterns go.

The result is a bohemian chic collection, filled with energetic colors all the while respecting the ethnic feel inherent to the collaboration. The watches, offered with either a black or white dial, will come with a choice of five interchangeable hand-braided leather bracelets, of which three are single and two are double. The watch is decorated by pearls, floral patterns and graphic prints.

The Louis Pion and Antik Batik collaboration will be available as of September 15 in both brands' stores and e-shops. The watches will be available for pre-order beginning September 1.

Price: €149 for the single bracelet and €169 for the double bracelet.
