Movado means movement
in the international language Esperanto, and with the brand’s reliable
Swiss production and occasional Bauhaus influence, Movado has kept
moving forward through the years to set many design standards, perhaps
most famously with their minimalist triumph, the Museum Watch.
Yaacov Agam, the world-renowned
sculptor, experimental artist, and master of kinetic art, collaborated
with Movado on these phenomenally dynamic Love Star watches in 1989 as
part of the producer’s Artists’ Series. Museums in Germany, Switzerland,
and Japan have showcased Agam’s Love Star artwork, and now it’s
possible to own—and wear—a piece of art history.
These watches are highly sought after
limited-edition timepieces. The watch with the colorful links and
folding deployant buckle is one of only 100 pieces produced and the
watch with the black leather band and tang buckle is one of only 150
pieces. As such, these watches can be difficult to obtain, but, more
excitingly, they will make positively thrilling additions to your
collection.
The multicolored triangles found upon
each watch’s bezel points inward to the vibrantly colored dial. The
visionary and iconically Agam triangle-shaped hands deliver a truly
unique way to tell the time. Both cases and movements are signed and
numbered.
Each circular metal case features
art-filled case backs secured down by screws, and each watch comes in
its original polychrome acrylic display case with an Agam-signed brass
base.
From their limited-edition availability
to their stunningly unique and original designs, we are most excited to
offer these Movado Love Star watches for your consideration.
Standout feature(s): Limited-edition
