Bringing Arthurian legends to life, the Knights of the Round Table collection is a valiant story of fine watchmaking, exclusive métier d’art, and expressive creativity. Taking us to the mystical Giant’s Causeway, this new edition weaves the magical tale of Merlin.To honour Arthur’s uncle, the great King Pendragon, it is said that Merlin once used his magic to lift the hexagonal stones from the Giant’s Causeway and transport them to England, where he built an immortal monument that some believe to be Stonehenge. Our watchmakers have retraced those steps to find inspiration at the edge of the world. Depicting the Giant’s Causeway in extraordinary detail, our dial is a complex marquetry featuring 28 blocks of genuine basalt, 9 blocks of Pink Gold, and 19 blocks of black and transparent glass. With heights ranging from 0.2mm to 3.7mm, and a vanishing point at the center, the result is a magical impression of volume and depth. The 12 courageous knights of 6mm height are each crafted to express their own personality and battle-ready pose. It takes one to three days for our faithful craftsmen to manually engrave the final form of each pink gold warrior, with meticulous attention paid to the individual weapons and armour. To view the knights from every angle, the 45mm Pink Gold case has a clear sapphire ring under the bezel. The crown protector is shaped like the guard of a sword, which Merlin helped Arthur pull from the stone, while the 360° oscillating weight on the caseback is inspired by the stained-glass windows of medieval castles. Today, the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its interlocking columns of volcanic basalt. This majestic place, where myths have been born across the centuries, begins at the base of the cliff and disappears out into the ocean.Case Pink gold* case with sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating Pink gold* open case back with sapphire crystal Pink gold* bezel with sapphire crystal ring Pink gold* crown *Pink gold 750/1000 Size: 45mm Water Resistance: 3 bar (30 m) Dial 12 micro sculpted knights of approximately 6 mm height.
