When childhood dreams of wealth meet the codes of adult luxury, time takes on a different value.
With Millionaire Time, SKE brings together two figures instantly associated with the imagination of wealth: Richie Rich and Mr. Monopoly. Placed at the heart of a solar and deliberately opulent scene, they move among banknotes, palm trees, architecture inspired by grand casinos, prestige cars, and a dial directly nourished by Rolex GMT codes. Everything is there to evoke success, but with a pop twist that prevents the piece from taking itself too seriously.
It is precisely this contrast that gives the work its identity. The characters of our collective memory meet here the highly codified world of luxury watchmaking. SKE distorts these status symbols to create a dense, colorful, almost cinematic graphic composition. The red and black bezel immediately structures the piece, while the dial accumulates details to discover: silver, sun, Riviera, automobile, and references to the world of collectors.
Millionaire Time is therefore not conceived as a simple decorative clock, but as a true functional wall sculpture. Made of aluminum, it measures 34 cm in diameter and has a functional mechanism. This version is produced in a limited edition of 30 pieces.
A piece destined for those who love pop culture as much as beautiful objects, the irony of détournement (misappropriation) and creations capable of giving a wall immediate personality.
Millionaire Time tells the time, of course. But above all, it displays the attitude.

- ARTIST BIO:
SKE is a self-taught French artist and versatile creator who grew up in the 80s/90s culture, inspiring most of his artistic works.

He constantly explores new techniques: acrylic painting, collage, stencil, graffiti, urban installations and digital art. His dynamic and expressive compositions, often with double reading, blend the raw energy of street art with the visual impact of pop art.

After an exceptional year in 2025, SKE’s market value has risen notably. Winner of the first prize in the Urban Master contest (2023), then elected Artist of the Year at the Color Jam Challenge (2025).
SKE was selected as "Artist of the Month" by the Opulence gallery in October, and he also benefited from a feature in an American art magazine confirming his international recognition.

His works have already been exhibited in major venues in Europe, the United States and Asia, consolidating his place on the contemporary art scene. In parallel, SKE also established himself in the digital artworks market, a major trend of the last two years, strengthening the appeal of his creations among collectors.

Icons of popular culture, bold graphics and texture plays define a style now essential.

SKE is undoubtedly an artist to follow, to start or enrich a collection with growing value.

Artist Listed & Awarded – Pop Art & Contemporary Street Art

A UNIVERSE BETWEEN HERITAGE AND MODERNITY The work of SKE follows a prestigious lineage. One finds in his line the visual efficiency of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, while incorporating the subversion of Banksy or the pioneer Blek le Rat. His works create a bridge between eras: they revisit the classics, not hesitating to divert Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, Hokusai’s The Great Wave, or Picasso’s deconstructed forms to confront them with a modern urban aesthetic close to Mr Brainwash or Kaws.

POP CULTURE & NOSTALGIA Drawing from the collective imagination, SKE manipulates icons of our childhood. He stages the Disney universe with figures like Mickey or Pinocchio, and Scrooge McDuck’s symbolic greed. The influence of gaming, comics and graphic novels is omnipresent: from the Nintendo universe and the legendary Game Boy, to Pokemon creatures (Pikachu, Charizard, Ash), and through Marvel superheroes. SKE crystallizes these memories in the manner of a Daniel Arsham or Takashi Murakami.

LUXURY, HYPE & CONSUMER SOCIETY In a style that sometimes recalls Alec Monopoly, the artist plays with codes of success and materialism. The dollar symbol sits beside logos of luxury and fashion giants. His canvases capture the “Hype” aesthetic: we encounter the sneaker world (Nike Air Jordan, Adidas, Off White) and high fashion (Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Louboutin). He also incorporates automotive adrenaline (Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, AMG) and precise horology (Rolex, Tag Heuer), not to mention mass consumer icons like Coca-Cola. It is vibrant art, with textured surfaces sometimes reminiscent of the glossy finish of Jeff Koons or the facets of Richard Orlinski.

This artwork is ideal to enrich a collection or bring a dynamic touch to your interior.
