Modern Art (Art Nouveau)

Modern Art (Art Nouveau) is an artistic and design movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is characterized by its focus on nature-inspired motifs, flowing lines, and ornamental elegance. The Art Nouveau style sought to move away from the heavy ornamentation of the previous era and embrace a more harmonious and fluid aesthetic.


The influences of Art Nouveau can be seen in the design of watch cases, dials, and decorative elements. Watches with Art Nouveau-inspired designs often feature intricate floral patterns, flowing curves, and delicate engravings. The use of precious materials such as gold, platinum, and gemstones was also common in Art Nouveau watches.
