Son of Earth Dome Black Earth

Featuring a stunning dial of Chrysocolla natural stone, displayed beneath a high domed sapphire crystal, the Son of Earth Dome Black Earth watch is spectacular in both its arrangement and its execution. Powered by an exclusive COSC rated Swiss ArtyA AION automatic movement, this beautifully crafted watch comes presented in a curved black DLC stainless steel casing and wears on a hand-made leather strap.

One of the most extraordinary Swiss independent watch brands in existence, ArtyA is the brainchild and passion of Yvan Arpa, an individual renowned for his contribution to the watch industry. The company exploded onto the scene in 2010 with a series of timepieces designed to thrill the aesthetic senses. Characterised by avant-garde styling, each ArtyA timepiece is crafted in the company’s Manufacture by their small, skilled team and, while maintaining the integrity of Haute Horlogerie standards is engrained within their DNA, so too is the refusal to conform with traditional styling cues. Acclaimed for their use of revolutionary materials and having debuted numerous industry-firsts, the Dome Earth Black watch is distinctive for its dynamic natural hard stone dial surface.

Perfectly selected to represent the blue planet, the Arty A Dome Black Earth watch is fitted with a dial crafted from a sliver of Chrysocolla stone. Alive with nuances of blue-green tones that represent our oceans, and with contrasting organic shades that evoke our landscapes, each dial will offer unparalleled uniqueness thanks to the naturally occurring veining of the hard stone. Adding to the drama of the scintillating surface, a pronounced domed sapphire crystal intensifies the aesthetic impact of the vibrant Chrysocolla. From the centre, the hands for the hours, minutes and seconds curve to conform to the high domed sapphire crystal, and with the dial bereft of numerals, one can fully appreciate the artistic brilliance of the dial surface.

Designed by Jérémie Arpa, the son of Yvan Arpa, the 41mm stainless steel case is entirely in-keeping with the style language of the watch, and its stealthy coating of black DLC gives it a modern twist. Curving gently on the wrist, its profile complements the high dome of the sapphire crystal, while its minimalist bezel gives a wide view of the dial. On turning over, a sapphire crystal caseback reveals the exclusive ArtyA automatic AION COSC movement which features beautiful skeletonisation of its bridges and a gold plated winding rotor which is openworked to display the brand’s logo. Beating at 28’800 vib/h, the calibre has a power reserve of 42 hours.

A watch with a wholly organic, yet a highly graphic artistic feel, the ArtyA Dome Black Earth watch forms part of the highly desirable Son of Earth collection. Each model comes presented on a high quality hand made leather strap, secured with a pin buckle
