Information

The spirited midcentury textile pattern shown on our watch celebrates "Calder #1, which Alexander Calder (American, 1898-1976) created in 1949. Illustrating the artist's interest in the solar system, it features stylized suns, moons, and stars in bold primary colors. This rayon-fiberglass fabric in The Met collection was manufactured by the New York-based design studio Laverne Originals as part of the company's Contempora Series of textiles and wallcoverings.

New, never used, in excellent condition and with original case

Specialist Notes

Swatch watches are presented as collector's items. After 20 years both plastic and leather straps may have dried out and become too fragile to wear as we cannot guarantee the durability of the strap. The sale is subject to "inspected and found to be acceptable". Each lot is sold as is and must be examined by the prospective buyer.
