Since 1986, when LAKS was established, the way to an innovative watch company was strongly accompanied by art, especially by the inspiration of Gustav Klimt. With this inspiration LAKS created a new extraordinary collection of art watches for its customers. The world`s largest collection of Klimt watches was the outcome – from now on LAKS was recognized as the “Klimt-Watch –Producer”.

In 1997, we decided to show our fascination for this artist by creating a kind of virtual Klimt museum on klimt.com

Klimt – always an interesting story
Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) is a world famous artist from Vienna and wrote history again in 2007 when his famous portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer was sold for appr. 135 million USD in New York City which made it at that time the most expensive painting in the world.
