This is not a watch: this is art in motion!
Avant-garde art is all about having a different vision of the future, free from the shackles of conventionally accepted rules. Be avant-garde with this limited edition of the Raketa “Avant-Garde”!
At the beginning of the 20th century, Russian artists such as Malevich and Kandinsky moved away from mainstream classical art towards a radically new vision of art characterised by colourful abstract shapes. Unlike classical art where the artist usually imposes on you a certain message, this new form of art gives you absolute freedom of interpretation. With time, this Russian avant-garde art had a ground-breaking influence on modern art around the world!
The Raketa “Avant-Garde” watch follows this strong Russian pioneering tradition in avant-garde art and Raketa’s tradition of dabbling with the unconventional. It experiments with colourful abstract shapes on every single part of the watch: the hands, dial, strap and even the movement itself. The watch thus resembles an avant-garde painting! Each of us is free to interpret the resulting picture as he wishes, to find his own meaning, depending on his mood & his imagination.
This picture is not frozen in time. As time passes the picture is constantly changing, animated by the circular motion of the geometric shapes floating around the dial at different speeds. Every time you look at your wrist, you will see a new composition to which you can give a different meaning.
This edition, limited to 300 pieces, is based on Raketa’s existing “Avant-Garde” collection.
