The Awake Dare & Dream watch represents a creative fusion of luxury timepieces and whimsical art, showcasing a cartoon-style dial designed by artist Nicolas Barrome Forgues. Limited to just 50 pieces, this unique watch features playful characters known as the “Bifrons,” which embody a carefree spirit. With a 40mm grade 2 titanium case, the watch is water-resistant and houses a Japanese Miyota automatic movement.

Awake's approach to watchmaking seeks to celebrate imagination and creativity, allowing wearers to embrace their inner child. The Dare & Dream watch invites individuals to experience joy and emotional connection through its artful design, moving beyond traditional horological tools. With a retail price of €890, this limited-edition timepiece encourages a sense of wonder and promotes the idea that watches can be a canvas for storytelling and personal expression, rather than mere instruments for timekeeping.
