Between two writings
Charlie brings the calligraphic abstraction of the artist L'Atlas, a major figure in international urban art, onto the dial of his most iconic watch, theINITIALInspired by the creative universe and urban geometry of the artist L'Atlas, and paying homage to his craftsmanship, the expression of his art is materialized through a precise and architectural cut on the dial, revealing the automatic movement at its heart. Numerous details are also found in the cutter-shaped hands, as well as in the engraving on the case back.
Jules Dedet, also known as L'Atlas, has been an iconic Parisian figure for over 30 years, whose work is rooted in calligraphy and writing. A major figure in international urban art and a pioneer of calligraffiti, he is particularly known for his monumental ground-based performances, such as the immense compass rose commissioned by the Centre Pompidou in 2008 or his intervention in the Place du Capitole in 2012, as well as for his exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo and the Musée de la Poste.
With the watch INITIAL GPS, Charlie Paris, and L'Atlas embody a time lived and inhabited in a universal way. A language that takes shape, where watchmaking expertise and artistic gesture reveal themselves through one another. The watch then becomes a space for dialogue between the artist's gesture and watchmaking know-how, between line and mechanism, between Paris and its most vibrant history.
L'INITIAL GPS boasts a design crafted in deep, monochrome, and graphic black. The signature motif structures the dial with a precise, almost architectural cutout, hinting at the automatic movement within. A numbered and limited edition, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

“Unlike a work on a wall which is frozen and cannot move, this watch allows the work to circulate, travel and be worn on the wrist. It’s this idea of movement that immediately appealed to me. »
Charlie, creative director of Charlie Paris

IT’S A CREATIVE EXPLOSION, FOLLOWED BY THE STIMULATING CHALLENGE OF INTEGRATING YOUR VISION INTO THE HEART OF A DIAL. »
