CLASSIC BIG ZERO MALEVICH 0273 LIMITED EDITION OF 300

Most will hate it. Few will love it. Exactly how we want it.

This watch is a collaboration between the Raketa Watch Factory and the State Tretyakov Gallery (Russia’s main museum of national art).

We didn’t try to do a beautiful watch. We did a radically abstract watch that doesn’t follow the conventional rules of classic aesthetics. Exactly like the Russian Avant-Garde artist Kazimir Malevich did in 1915 when he painted the most abstract painting in the world: the Black Square.
When asked what was the meaning of his absurd Black Square, Malevich explained that it symbolizes a “Big Zero”: the end of the previous period of artistic evolution and the beginning of a radically new artistic reality. With time, this painting had a tremendous influence on modern art and became one of the most iconic paintings in the world.

Raketa Watch Factory in Saint-Petersburg.
Part of the proceeds will go to the State Tretyakov Gallery.

*Every watch dial is handmade from natural stone by an experienced watchmaker. Therefore it may differ from the picture on the website.
