GRWN By. MAD Paris: ULTRA VIOLETTE — A Study in Upcycled Luxury
June 30, 2024
In a collaboration that redefines modern luxury, GRWN and MAD Paris have unveiled two extraordinary one-of-one timepieces under the title ULTRA VIOLETTE — Concept 1 and Concept 2. Together, they represent the meeting of lab-grown innovation and mechanical mastery, transforming the legendary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (Ref: 15300ST) into works of wearable art.
At the heart of both concepts lies a shared vision: to challenge convention through craftsmanship, sustainability, and culture. Each piece merges GRWN’s commitment to solar-powered, lab-grown diamonds with MAD Paris’s legacy of upcycling iconic watches into modern collectibles.
