Object description

Design and Construction

The Movado Andy Warhol Times 5 is constructed from five rectangular cases finished in blackened stainless steel. Each individual module measures 24 millimeters by 38 millimeters and is hinged together to form a wearable bracelet structure. This configuration allows for the display of five independent time zones simultaneously, with each unit managed by its own crown situated on the side of the case.

The dial of each module features a monochromatic, black-and-white photograph capturing a different aspect of New York City life. The contrast of these photographic images is complemented by thin red hands, which are used to indicate time across all five units.

Collaboration and Provenance

The timepiece originated from a partnership between Andy Warhol and the Movado Museum Collection. The collaborative project was initiated prior to the artist's death in 1987. Although the concept was developed during Warhol's lifetime, the final production of the watches was completed and released to the market in 1988.

The object is part of a restricted production run, limited to 250 units. The specific watch being catalogued is marked as number 192. It is accompanied by its original wooden and glass display box and a certificate of authenticity, reinforcing its status as a collector's edition of the series.

Identification and Marks

Each individual component of the five-watch assembly is marked to verify its place within the limited production. According to the catalogue records, the signature and the unique serial number corresponding to the specific unit are engraved on the back of each dial, specifically along the edge of the case.

The watch retains its original documentation and presentation equipment, which includes a factory-issued wooden and glass case. These markings and inclusions serve as primary evidence for identifying this specific example as the 192nd piece of the 250-unit run.
