WATCHES & TIMEPIECES
THE ART OF WATCHMAKING
Watchmaking , the art which combines aesthetics and mechanics . On one hand , the aesthetics on the dial of the timepiece , and on the other hand the mechanic which is the heart of the timepiece . An exquisite combination of both creates a luxury watch . The new series that is represented by Antonio Boggati is inspired by the eclipse phenomenon .
An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when one celestial body is temporarily obscured , bypassing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer .
The term eclipse is used to describe a solar or a lunar eclipse which is either total or partial . In this case , the designer Antonio Boggati immortalizes a partial solar eclipse during which the moon covers a part of the sun in an annulus creating a luminous ring . How beautiful and unique , one of the most impressive phenomena of space to be depicted on a watch dial that inhales art and exhales luxury .
“ The Eclipse Series ” is a series that combines exaggeration , elegance , and luxury . It is a series based on the first series of the brand , “ Couple La Paris Series ”, maintaining the asymmetrical and modern design that is the identity of the Antonio Boggati brand . The series “ The Eclipse Series ”, is a limited edition , with a Swiss movement , sapphire crystal , premium leather , and 316L high-quality steel . All the details inside the watch are embossed with special patterns to create the feeling of space . In order of making it much more stunning , the brand designer added a touch of a pair of two asymmetrical Swarovski elliptical curves to the watch case , creating a work of art .
