SWATCH THE GREAT WAVE BY HOKUSAI & ASTROLABE

El reloj THE GREAT WAVE OFF KANAGAWA BY KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI & THE ASTROLABE es el resultado de combinar dos poderosas obras en una. En la parte delantera, el grabado a color La gran ola de Kanagawa de Hokusai ocupa la esfera, la caja y la correa. Al girar el reloj, en cambio, se puede admirar un fragmento del El astrolabio de Muhammad ibn Ahmad Al-Battûtî. En la trabilla se lee «LOUVRE ABU DHABI». KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI, Under the Wave off Kanagawa, from the series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji Japan, ca. 1830-1832, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi.
