Ronnie Wood may be best known as a member of The Rolling Stones, but his love of visual art has been an enduring part of his life. Having studied at Ealing College of Art before embarking on his musical career, he has continued his passion for painting and drawing throughout, with his band members and other musicians often featuring as the subjects of his work.

One of his latest pieces has seen him once again team up with British watchmaker Bremont to create a bespoke marine clock featuring his distinctive artwork on the dial. The first collaboration, revealed in 2011, depicted a mythical horse, while this new timepiece sees him take a more abstract approach. Here, Ronnie Wood shares the inspirations and process behind the design.
