Movado Group, Inc. announced its new Artist Series collaboration with Derrick Adams, a multidisciplinary artist, and one of the leading black artists of the 21st century. This collaboration celebrates the Black experience, employing vibrant and joyous colors by pairing iconic design with contemporary cubism. Adams has held several solo exhibitions at institutions across the country, including The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Momentary, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Hudson River Museum, and the Museum of Arts and Design.
Movado's Artist Series reflects four decades of collaborations with world renowned artists, including Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, and Carmen Herrera, to craft curated collections that represent wearable works of art. For this collaboration, Movado will feature a limited-edition collection that pairs Derrick Adams' vibrant pieces and singular style with Movado's iconic Museum Dial- - translating his strong command of texture and passion for color onto each piece. Within the Artist Series, the resulting designs are true collectors items - watches as wearable art and gallery-worthy wall clocks.
The exclusive Derrick Adams X Movado limited edition collection includes five watches in the series with 125 pieces of each design including a total of 25 collectors sets. All watches are individually numbered on the caseback. This is the first time Movado and an artist have designed a clock in an Artist Series collaboration.
Two of the five watch designs were transformed into a wall clock; 125 of each clock are available for purchase. Five collectors sets and 20 of each of the wall clocks were donated to the Studio Museum of Harlem by Derrick Adams and Movado.
