Art Deco Watches
Watches produced in the Art Deco period are among the most elegant and sophisticated timepieces ever produced.Coupled with the sophistication of the Jazz and Flapper styles an Art Deco watch can imbue the wearer with an atmosphere of sophistication and elegance that your modern clunky Rolex or TAG wearer will envy.
Patek Philippe is particularly well known for its art deco designs of the 1930s and slim rectangular cases and elegant movements by the likes of Rolex, Longines and Cartier shine out as examples of, dare we say it, timeless elegance.
The ever popular art deco style is an architectural and decorative-arts style, popular from 1910 to 1940.
Art deco is characterised by highly stylised natural and geometric forms and ornaments, which are usually very symmetrical. Art Deco themes were often classical motifs reduced to geometric stylisations.
Art Deco glass uses geometric patterns, bold colours, exuberant, sometimes stylised, female figures, and animal motifs. Major designers of Art Deco glass were Rene Lalique, Maurice Marinot, Daum Freres, Marius Sabino, Etling, Schneider, Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, and Francois Decorchemont.
