Movado has unveiled a new Artist Series collection in collaboration with Derrick Adams, a multidisciplinary artist known for his contemporary cubist works celebrating the Black experience. The limited-edition collection merges Movado's iconic Museum Dial with Adams' vibrant artistic style, creating watches, clocks and collector sets designed as wearable and displayable art. It is the most recent collection in Movado's four decades of the Artist Series, which has seen collaborations with world-renowned artists, including Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist and Carmen Herrera.  

The collaboration includes five watch designs, each limited to 125 pieces, and marks the first time Movado has incorporated clocks into its Artist Series. Two of Adams' watch designs have been adapted into wall clocks, with 125 of each clock produced. Twenty of each clock and five collector sets were donated to the Studio Museum of Harlem by Movado and Adams, whose work has been featured in solo exhibitions at the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Momentary, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Hudson River Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design.

"We are excited to partner with Derrick Adams on this unique partnership, which blends timeless craftsmanship with his visionary artistry," says Efraim Grinberg, chairman and chief executive officer, Movado Group. "At Movado, we've always believed that a great watch is not just a tool to tell time, but also a work of art that tells a story. This partnership brings together our legacy of precision and luxury with Derrick Adams' unmatched creativity and expression. We're thrilled to offer this exclusive collection to our consumers and collectors worldwide."

"It's been a pleasure to collaborate with such a forward-thinking team at Movado, and I'm incredibly proud of what we've created together," says Adams. "Time, much like art, is something we experience, interpret, and cherish in unique ways, and each watch represents not just the passage of time but moments of inspiration and individuality. The watches in this collection were designed with the same level of dedication and attention to detail as a gallery piece, and I wanted to ensure each one felt personal for its wearer. For me, it's about producing something that lasts, resonates and captures the essence of who we are at this moment in time, and Movado's watches exemplify this concept to the fullest."
