While deeply intertwined, the worlds of art and horology rarely come together in meaningful collaborations. TimeForArt seeks to change that by launching the first-ever benefit watch auction to support contemporary art and artists. With the theme of artists for artists, all featured watches are either unique collaborations with world-renowned artisans, interventions by leading contemporary artists, or bespoke examples of innovative craftsmanship. 

TimeForArt is a curated benefit watch auction of exceptional timepieces from the world’s greatest watchmakers. 100% of the proceeds directly enable today’s most visionary artists, through Swiss Institute’s exhibitions, public programs, artist residencies, education & community engagement workshops – which are all offered free of charge to the public. Following the heartwarming wave of generosity and enthusiasm from its inaugural edition in 2022, Swiss Institute is thrilled to unveil TimeForArt’s second edition.
