Kenny Scharf for the Movado Artists' Series Limited Edition
Since 1987, the Artists’ Series is composed of commissioned, limited edition timepieces designed by leading artists. Those who have created watches to date include Andy Warhol, Max Bill and James Rosenquist. Movado now introduces the newest Artists’ Series entry – a suite of six colorful, whimsical dial designs by Brooklyn-based American artist Kenny Scharf.
Kenny Scharf brings six boldly graphic dial designs to the Movado Artists’ Series. He has named his watches Movado Time, Blurple Time, Universal Time, Starring the Star, Ontime and Time Flies. Each Kenny Scharf dial design is framed in a simple round stainless steel case featuring a custom-engraved case-back. Each timepiece includes two interchangeable leather straps that play off the dial colors. The movements are Swiss quartz. The crystals are scratch-resistant, dual-sided anti-reflective sapphire. The watches are water resistant to 3ATM.
Produced in Limited Editions of 125 individually numbered pieces. Presented in a matching Scharf-design box with leather straps, certificate of authenticity. $695 each. Collecttor’s Set with all six watches, $3,495.
