Nomos Glashütte, in collaboration with Dutch watch retailer Ace Jewelers, is launching a 100-piece limited edition timepiece celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Dutch art movement De Stijl (Dutch for The Style).
One of the Netherland’s most influential modern art movements, De Stijl was founded in 1917 and is also known as Neoplasticism. Among the best-known members of the movement are Theo van Doesburg, Piet Mondriaan and Gerrit Rietveld, who's work can be found in world renowned museums and private art collections.
The new Orion 100 Years De Stijl Limited Edition features a white silver-plated dial fitted inside a 38 mm stainless steel case.
The hour markers are directly inspired to De Stijl: each features a different length and line weight, as if they were taken straight off Mondriaan’s Composition with Lines or Rietveld’s Red & Blue chair.
The result is an asymmetrical composition of lines, squares and rectangles. Every single hour marker is unique, and therefore also representative of the uniqueness of each passing moment. Time is indicated through a set of deep black pencil hands.
While the dial is completely monochrome, the primary colours that De Stijl is famous for are found in the Nomos’ hand-wound Alpha movement. It features blued screws, red synthetic rubies, and a yellow balance wheel, which can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback. Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, this movement offers a power reserve of 43 hours.
A timepiece that will certainly fascinate art lovers, the Nomos Glashütte Orion 100 Years De Stijl Limited Edition is delivered on a black Horween Genuine Shell Cordovan strap and is available for pre-order at Ace Jewelers boutiques and online at www.acejewelers.com.

I generally don't like limited editions but this is nice and makes sense. Maybe because I like Mondrian!
ReplyDeleteStill prefer the standard edition, tough.
