TIMEPIECES
PLANET
The PLANET model from the 1521 collection invites you on a fascinating journey through space, offering a unique representation of a distant planet, seen from infinity.
This watch transcends the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, merging art and technology to deliver an unparalleled visual and mechanical experience. PLANET is much more than a watch: it's an exploration of the mysteries of the universe, worn on the wrist.
Dial and Globe: A Planet Among the Stars.
The dial of the 1521 PLANET features a stylized planet floating in a starry sky. The stars at night are depicted in brilliant detail, creating a breathtaking celestial scene. At the center of the scene, a 0.04 ct VVS diamond is set, representing a sparkling star in the cosmos, giving the watch a touch of luxury and elegance.
The blue mother-of-pearl dial adds striking visual depth, offering an iridescent texture that subtly changes depending on the light. The degrees of latitude are printed in white, providing a clear and crisp reading of geographic coordinates while harmoniously complementing the celestial representation. This dial, both mysterious and refined, captures the imagination while remaining functional and elegant.
EARTH
The EARTH model from the 1521 collection invites you on a unique journey through time and space, offering a poetic vision of our blue planet, as it could be seen from Earth's orbit.
This exceptional timepiece is much more than just a watch: it is a window onto infinity, an invitation to explore the wonders of the world while sporting a unique and refined timepiece.
A Unique Dial: The Earth in 3D
The dial of the 1521 EARTH is a spectacular tribute to the planet we inhabit. At the center of the watch is a hand-painted 3D globe capturing the details of Earth as seen from space. Every curve, every continent is meticulously reproduced with striking realism. This 3D globe is the dial's signature element, giving the watch an exceptional visual dimension.
Surrounding the globe, a white mother-of-pearl dial highlights the model's elegance. The degrees of latitude are printed in white, forming a subtle contrast with the iridescent background, and recalling the majesty of our rotating planet. This dial, both refined and detailed, perfectly embodies the fusion of aesthetics and high technology.
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
Let yourself be carried away by the timeless charm of the 1521 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, a unique model that offers a fascinating interpretation of planet Earth, like a three-dimensional world map.
This prestigious timepiece, designed for adventurers and travel enthusiasts, captures the elegance of the northern horizon, enhanced by a meticulously crafted dial and unparalleled technical details.
Dial and Globe: The Earth in a New Light.
The 1521 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE features a stylized globe representing the Northern Hemisphere, where the continents are depicted in vibrant colors, providing a striking contrast against the dial background. The globe is a true work of art, hand-painted to bring to life the reliefs and details of the continents, while creating a unique visual dynamic. This dial, subtly placed beneath a crystalline sphere, becomes the beating heart of the watch, allowing a visual journey into a world rich in history and geography.
The dial's white mother-of-pearl background highlights the degrees of latitude printed in black, adding a touch of sophistication while making it easier to read the geographic coordinates. This touch of contrast creates a perfect harmony between the dial's elegance and the complexity of the cartographic representation.
