Alec Andon, also known professionally as Alec Monopoly, is a street artist from New York City. His signature covers his face with his hand or uses a medical mask to hide his face. Alec Andon is known for his street art online while enjoying an elite lifestyle in Los Angeles, apparently funded by his artistic career.
This first collaboration with Jacob & Co. is the result of a splendid combination resulting in a striking work of art based on the famous three-dimensional astronomical clock by Jacob & Co. The Astronomy Alec Monopoly watch has an upright movement and four arms and complications, featuring the tiny characters from Monopoly designs and is resized on the computer to fit in the watch without interference with the movement and rotating intricacies.
The artist works mainly in urban settings in major cities around the world using a variety of materials (including stencils, spray paint, paints, vinyl and newspapers) to subvert various iconic pop culture characters. Born in New York City, his mother is a classical artist; Monopoly considers himself an artist for life.
Monopolys’ work embodies the icon of the beloved Pop Art movement, integrates pop culture and portraiture into their projects, is widely available, reaches the general public, not just street art lovers, and is an ambassador of the TAG Heuer brand . Street artist Alec Monopoly and Latin music star Ozuna are riding a wave of interest in non-fungible tokens (NFT) paired with their two brands.
ArtGrails, an online shopping site for NFT that Monopoly founded with his brother, Avery Andon, sold his iconic meme for $ 590,000 and the artist known as Beeple earned a record $ 69.4 million for a single piece auctioned at Christies. Jacob & Co. is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of exotic watchmaking.
This means that there are Scrooge McDuck, Monopoly Man, Money Wings and Almighty Dollar numbers on the dial. Therefore, this watch is its latest high-end watch, and it is no surprise that it pays tribute to one of the most popular board games in history, giving the wrist a lot of color and movement.
The Jacob cut is the characteristic cut for diamonds and gemstones found on all Jacob & Co. watches. Astronomia. He always marks his presence on one of the levers of the vertical Astronomia movement and sometimes adorns other parts of his very large watches. As the axis spins the watch is exposed to the close attention to detail behind the watch. The rough diamond is first machined into a spherical shape close to the size of the final diamond.

He has been shown in two museum exhibitions such as at MOCA in Bangkok in 2015 and at the Moscow Museum of Multimedia and Design in 2018.
The monopoly mascot was inspired by stockbroker Bernie Madoff and his work is a clear criticism of the billion dollar bailout and deregulation associated with large banks. For Alec, the Monopoly reference goes beyond paper dollars and plastic houses; it is a journey similar to what actually happens in the real world.
