Description from the seller

VANESSA FODERÀ (1981)

Time is money – Hulk Rolex

Double Automatic Winding Artistic – Contemporary Pop Art Work

TIME IS MONEY series limited to 110 works – Unique copy No. 97/110

Signed, numbered, and certified work.
Original creation ARTOYS DESIGNER



Contemporary functional artwork

This creation is more than just a watch winder.
It is a functional contemporary Pop Art artwork, blending luxury culture, watchmaking, design, and the symbolism of time.

Entirely handcrafted by the French contemporary artist Vanessa Foderà, this piece belongs to the iconic series TIME IS MONEY, known for transforming technical objects into collectible sculptures with a strong visual identity.

Although the TIME IS MONEY series is strictly limited to 110 copies, each work is unique.
The copy presented here, No. 97/110, has a graphic composition, colors, and design that will never be reproduced exactly.



Artistic Design – Special Edition 'Hulk Rolex'

This model is directly inspired by the color and symbolic universe of the Rolex Submariner 'Hulk' (ref. 116610LV), one of the most iconic and sought-after watches by collectors.

The design, clearly visible in the photos, stands out by:

An intense green dominance, reminiscent of the iconic ceramic bezel of the Submariner Hulk.
An artistic illustration of the character Hulk, a symbol of power, brute strength, and uncontrollable energy.
The artist's signature inscriptions
TIME IS MONEY
We can be rich but never buy time.
Stylized gold crowns used as symbols of watchmaking prestige.
A high-end glossy black lacquered case with a mirror finish.
A cream interior, creating a luxurious contrast and highlighting the watch.
- Transparent glazing (front face and cover) providing a display similar to a gallery showcase.

The ensemble forms a strong, expressive, and immediately recognizable Pop Art sculpture, designed to be both displayed and used.



Functional movement & high-end winding mechanism

This piece is designed for collectors of luxury watches, particularly to highlight iconic models with a dominant green theme.

Watches not included (shown for illustrative purposes only in the photos).

Artistic Interpretation

This work puts three fundamental notions in tension:

Strength and power (HULK)
The luxury watchmaking codes (crowns, typographies, Rolex references)
Time, the only wealth impossible to buy.

She reminds us that, even surrounded by precious objects, time remains the ultimate, irreversible, and inaccessible value.
