Designed in 1969 by Ettore Sottsass and Perry King, the Olivetti Valentine is more than just a typewriter — it’s an industrial design manifesto in bold, unapologetic red. Made for people who hate typewriters (or so they claimed), this is now a cult piece collected by museums, fashion houses, and anyone with a taste for revolutionary design.

This unit features a French AZERTY keyboard, all original parts, and comes with its iconic red ABS plastic carry case. No broken pieces, no replacements. Just the kind of honest wear you want in a real vintage piece: visible surface marks, especially on the plastic upper cover above the typebar section, and on the outer case, as clearly shown in the photos.

Still a showstopper. Still completely badass. Whether you’re writing your memoirs or just letting it sit pretty on a bookshelf, this Valentine is here to make a statement.

Condition: Good vintage condition. Fully functional. All parts are original. Light scratches and signs of wear, especially on the plastic upper panel above the typebar area and the outer shell.

Year: 1969–1970s

Excellent Watch
Color: Gold Silver-G8408
I don't know why this watch is getting a less than perfect rating from others. I purchased this watch legit to make sure my son got out of the shower at the gym on time to get where he is going. LOL It is classy, elegant and yes, has been exposed to sweat, water and soap extensively, and still looks fantastic. He is getting the black one next.

looks good but is unreliable; replacement coming
Color: Gold Blue-G8408
Update: The company reached out to me and offered me either a refund or a replacement watch. I bumped my rating up by two stars for that good customer service, and I'll provide another update once I have the replacement and see how it works. This watch looks great, was a good price, and I enjoy wearing it. The problem is that it keeps stopping. An unreliable watch is a big problem. Unfortunately, I was out of the country and didn't get to return it in time before the return window closed. If it worked properly, I would have given it a five-star rating.
