–SPECIAL– "LOEWE" 80’s-90’s Rectangular anagram bangle bracelet watch

Founded in Madrid in 1846, LOEWE has refined leather not just as a material but as a culture, and here we introduce a special piece that combines the maison's expertise in the sensuality of leather with the aesthetic beauty of jewelry.

This exquisite piece features a bangle bracelet structure that functions as both a watch and a decoration on the wrist.

First, the case is a well-proportioned rectangular with rounded corners and a thick form, leaving a solid presence within its classic design. The dial is primarily white with Roman numerals, designed with ample space in the center for high visibility, and the LOEWE logo quietly fits in, resulting in an expression that speaks of dignity rather than ostentation.

A notable feature is the construction of the bracelet, combining weighty gold-tone links with burgundy embossed leather alternately, creating a rhythm where the coldness of metal and the warmth of leather follow the arm. The leather has a uniform gloss with subtle grain shadows, and as it is used, the three-dimensional form becomes more familiar, with the shine of the fittings accentuated, allowing the passage of time to be appreciated as beauty, which is a unique value of this piece.

The clasp features a three-dimensional monogram, with a design that makes the act of fastening part of the outfit, and on the back, the engraved "LOEWE MADE IN SPAIN" clearly marks its origin as a leather maison.

Furthermore, the presence of the "FRANCE" marking on the lower part of the dial is intriguing, as it remains as physical evidence of the division of labor at that time, with leather and final processing in Spain and watch manufacturing supported by a French workshop.

The movement is quartz, offering practicality for everyday use without feeling burdensome, and visually it functions as jewelry, making the combination of function and decoration extremely elegant.

It can be proposed as from the years around 1985 to 1995, and it is not a recent design with a reimagined clasp but an older specification with weight and thickness, and the coexistence of the "FRANCE" marking on the dial and "MADE IN SPAIN" on the clasp is characteristic of LOEWE watches of that era. Additionally, the serial number format "6041D" on the case back indicates a transitional style different from the current complex reference system, making it a credible estimate of its age.

The value of MOOD's special collection lies not just in its rarity, but in LOEWE's aesthetic sensibility built through leather, brought into a different genre with watches. As a maison with deep knowledge of leather, the curves of the bracelet and the way the leather surfaces are cut feel natural, and the moment it is on the wrist, the outfit's level is elevated, with a design that blurs the boundary between jewelry and watches, beautifully connecting to the genderless values of current luxury.

Styling-wise, pairing it casually with minimal shirts or high-quality knits to tell a story only at the wrist naturally balances classic and mode, and finishing with the bracelet peeking out from the cuffs of jackets or coats deepens the overall look. Combining it with leather accessories or modest rings creates a sense of material unity, making it a superb piece that elegantly refines everyday gestures regardless of gender.

Take this opportunity.
