‘Until I’m Rich’ is Tamara Maggi’s visualisation of an unrealised dream: to possess the world’s most expensive luxury watches. From Rolex and Omega to Patek Philippe, Cartier, Hermès, Bulgari, and more, she pictures how each timepiece would look wrapped snugly around her wrist by making paper cut-outs and snapping a photo with her iPhone. Her hand, meanwhile, is engaged in ordinary activities, such as grasping a handbag, opening a car door, resting on a cloth, clutching a banana, or tracing a wall. On the opposing pages, Maggi makes clear just how unachievable owning such a watch is for the vast majority of people by listing the model’s retail price in several currencies.
