Fascinating history of Istanbul.
Description
Byzantium – a fascinating history.
Sometime around the year 660 BC, the Doric Greeks founded a colony called Byzantium on the European shore of the Bosphorus. From here began the history of this fascinating capital, which today is the only metropolis in the world that unites the European and Asian continents.
Today it is known as Istanbul, combining the Greek and Roman heritage, the display of Ottoman splendor, where much valuable jewelry made in the Arab tradition is preserved.
The model “Byzantium” is a magnificent automatic watch in honor of the turbulent and fascinating history of the city of Istanbul and picks up this great diversity.
The ornaments gathered from Arabic calligraphy present themselves in a new interpretation. The dial is divided into four sectors, surrounded by a meander – a motif from the art of ancient Greece.
In the center there is a cross, which recalls the earlier Christian history of this modern metropolis. The hands are color-matched to the appearance and the hour markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 are decorated with high-quality diamonds.
