Aussie Creativity and Expression
The goal of the Nullarbor Watch is to create watches that represent the Australian landscape, society and culture. With the Terrain collection, we wanted to focus on the Aussie outdoors.
The great outdoors mean something different to each person and to help demonstrate that diversity of meaning, we wanted the artwork that accompanies each Terrain to be a reflection of a different person. That's why we've partnered with local artists and given then artistic freedom to express what the outback, ocean and lush rainforests mean to them.
