Time taking shape
The Raketa Malevich Triptych collection is the result of the Factory’s collaboration with the prestigious Russian Museum (in St. Petersburg) which is home to Malevich’s entire geometric cycle — the Black Circle, the Black Cross and the familiar Black Square.
Black-and-white minimalism, rejection of generally accepted rules, liberation from conventions, return to the purest forms — these are just a few similarities between Malevich’s concept and Raketa’s vision.
Malevich regarded the simple geometric shapes — a square, a circle and a cross, — as traditional symbols of the Universe. They therefore also refer to Raketa’s DNA which is directly linked to the Cosmos and its representation in art.
The dial is made of genuine semi-precious stones selected for their visual resemblance to the paintings. Laconic in colour and shape, the watch models allow for limitless interpretations, just like Malevich’s abstract works.
Every Raketa Malevich Triptych model is limited to 500 pieces. The collector’s set of 3 watches will feature the entire geometric cycle.
The mechanical movement of each watch is produced from A to Z at the Raketa Watch Factory in St. Petersburg and expertly decorated by the Factory’s masters. Malevich’s Black Square, Black Circle and Black Cross are printed on the oscillating weight.
