THE LAPIS LAZULI

The name Lapis comes from Latin meaning stone and Lazuli originates from the Persian word lajavard. Lapis is most abundantly found in Afghanistan and Iran (previously Persia) and is one of the oldest gemstones used throughout centuries. The Lapis Lazuli is a semi-precious stone composed of several minerals, but mostly lazurite, giving it a deep opulent blue. The stone was highly valued by ancient civilizations including Persians, Egyptians, Mayans and Greeks; and mined for jewelry and ornaments.

THE ELUSIVE ARABIAN DIAL

A horological novelty by high-end watchmakers tailoring to an emerging luxury market in the Middle East from the 1950-70s, these dials incorporate symbols from the Hindu-Arabic numeral system, which are highly popular among discerning watch collectors. Their relatively obscure origins along with inherent exclusivity to Arabian royalties and oil moguls lend this design a certain elusive, regal air.
