Charlie Paris x One Kean, the art of time in gradients
Charlie Paris unveils a new limited-edition creation, the result of a unique collaboration with French painter Jordan Tran, known as Kean. With this GRX Kean model, the watchmaker creates a subtle dialogue between horological precision and artistic expression, where time is read through a dial as colorful as a canvas.
A watch that captures the light of the sky
Inspired by Kean's pictorial universe, the GRX Kean watch reinvents the codes of GR collection with a radically different artistic approach. Its dial, composed of two levels, displays a gradient of colours created by hand by spraying paint, giving life to a subtle work that changes according to the light.
Each design is intended to be poetic and balanced, evoking those suspended moments when the sky merges with the ocean, at dawn or dusk. Two complementary and nuanced color variations reflect this desire to capture a moment of calm, almost meditative.

Kean, from the street to the canvas
Jordan Tran, also known as Kean, is a self-taught painter whose work was initially expressed in urban spaces through graffiti. Gradually, he moved away from city walls to painting on canvas, seeking to create interior landscapes where color becomes a language.
His refined and contemplative works are distinguished by the extreme softness of their gradations. He works with silence and light, creating suspended atmospheres, like a soothing breath. It is this singular vision that he transposes here onto the dial of the GRX Kean: a fragment of emotion, nestled within a precious object.
A collaboration born from a shared sensibility
At Charlie Paris, we have always been committed to linking art and watchmaking through creative collaborations that give a different voice to our design. Working with Kean, whose work with color and materials deeply resonates with us, seemed like the obvious choice.
" The dial was conceived as an intimate work of art, a fragment of light worn on the wrist. » – Kean
