Raketa’s “Malevich Triptych”

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.

The Malevich Triptych collection emphasizes the values shared by Malevich and Raketa: black-and-white minimalism, big zero concept, rejection of generally accepted rules, liberation from conventions, return to the purest forms, Russian origin —these are just a few similarities between Malevich’s Suprematistic concept and the Raketa “BIG ZERO”.

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.

A 500 piece limited edition of every Raketa Malevich Triptych model is available in four different variations. A collector’s set of 3 watches will feature the whole triptych, while individual models will allow you to choose the geometric symbol that is closer to your vision of time.

The dial is made of genuine semi-precious stones, such as black, white, and transparent agate with tinting. Each stone is selected for its visual resemblance to the paintings. Laconic in colour and shape, the models allow for limitless interpretations, just like Malevich’s works.

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.

The price of a collector’s set is 5 450 EUR while an individual model costs 1 950 EUR (including VAT).
