Tsovet Limited is an independent American watch brand, founded in Los Angeles [1] in 2008 [2] to market Asian-manufactured, American designed watches with Swiss Made movements. [3] The company is located in Newport Beach with markets in 15 countries worldwide. [4] [5] Since 2012, Tsovet has collaborated with British studio Horology Design Limited and Swiss watch designer Jacques Fournier. [6]
Tsovet was founded by David Bonaventura, also a musician, [7] who'd previously co-founded Vestal (1997-2005), [8] a company that marketed musically-inspired watches and clothing under its own brand name — as well as subsequently for other brands including Paul Frank, Vans and singer Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers. [9] [7]
Tsovet designs reflect an interest in metal fabrication and mechanical gauges — as well as post- Cold War Soviet watch designs, [10] engineered industrial tools, retro motor gauges, and avionics instruments — using Italian leather and aeronautical-grade 316L stainless steel.
Tsovet was introduced in New York at its debut capsule show in July in 2008 with 4 styles in 16 color variants.
