The Raketa Avant-Garde watch has been reimagined by stylist The Horophile in his signature violet colour, as a modern tribute to the visionary Russian modern artists of the late 19th and early 20th century.
The Russian Avant-Garde movement has had an immeasurable and irrefutable impact on the world of modern art. With influences ranging from the suprematism of Malevich and the constructivism of Lissitzky to the abstraction of Kandinsky, the Raketa Avant-Garde highlights just how singular the Russian avant-garde art movement was and how relevant it remains.
A work of art in ceaseless motion, the Raketa Avant-Garde offers a play of geometric forms and striking colors that are constantly morphing in composition with the passage of time and the shift between light and dark. The contrast of bright luminescent orange and metallic violet adds an unexpected and electric edge to this piece of wearable art.
Limited

For this special edition, the winding rotor has been finished in a purple colour, while the bridges are printed with an Avant-Garde motif in the same colours as the dial.
