The One-of-a-Kind Brian and Kim Timepiece
This extraordinary timepiece is more than just a watch; it’s a heartfelt tribute to family and the bond between siblings. Created by Karar Aimer of IFL Watches in Dubai, this unique design is showcased on an Oris Divers 65 Cotton Candy watch, capturing a deeply personal moment in the lives of Brian and Kim LaViolette.
The watch dial tells a story that began when Kim was just four years old. Growing up in DePere, Wisconsin, she was asked by her babysitter Margaret Adair to participate in a fashion show at her high school.
The babysitter lovingly crafted a beautiful white dress with red accents for Kim, who proudly walked in the show accompanied by her parents, Doug and Renee, and her older brother, Brian. To celebrate the occasion, the planners requested that the children carry balloons, adding a fun touch to the evening.

The event was filled with joy, and the snapshots from that special night captured Kim’s love for balloons, a love that would follow her throughout her life.
Even on her wedding day, September 3, 2017, in Asheville, North Carolina, balloons played a role. As she and her new husband, Isaiah Mosteller, made their way to the reception, they were greeted by balloons—a reminder of that cherished childhood memory and her joy in life's simple pleasures.
When Karar Aimer heard Kim’s story, he was inspired to create a truly unique timepiece. The result is this ‘one-of-a-kind watch,’ featuring a meticulously hand-painted dial using enamel colors. The artwork captures Brian and Kim hand-in-hand, a heartfelt tribute to their enduring bond and the moments that have shaped their lives. This watch is more than a beautiful work of craftsmanship; it is a celebration of life, memories, and the journey we all take with our loved ones.
