Description
Crafted in yellow gold, blue lace agate and guilloché enamel, this timepiece unites precious metal, natural stone and fine decorative craftsmanship. The dial combines traditional hand-guilloché engraving with enamel applied by hand, creating a refined play of texture, depth and light across the surface.
The art of lapidary craftsmanship
Rooted in over three centuries of heritage, Imperial Peterhof Factory continues the tradition of stone carving that once served the Russian Imperial court. What began as the shaping of decorative stone objects for palace interiors has evolved into a unique horological expression. Today, this living heritage is expressed through the movement holder — a complex technical component, normally hidden within the watch construction — here entirely carved from natural stone. This transformation turns a functional element into a signature expression of material and craftsmanship.
A guilloché enamel dial
The dial is hand-guilloché engraved using traditional techniques, then finished with layers of enamel applied by hand. This combination highlights the precision of mechanical engraving and the depth of artisanal finishing, giving the dial a vivid, changing character under light.
Founded by Emperor Peter the Great in 1721
Imperial Peterhof Factory was established by decree of Peter the Great and belonged to generations of Russian Emperors. Over the centuries, it evolved into the Petrodvorets Watch Factory and today creates its own in-house mechanical movements, preserving an uninterrupted legacy spanning 305 years.
A personalized rose gold rotor
Visible through the sapphire caseback, the in-house movement features a rose gold winding rotor whose center may be engraved according to the owner’s wishes, making each watch a unique object.
