Horology By The Sea is thrilled to offer this Principia Meteorite, a fantastic Special Edition from "the Horological Brothers" featuring an exceptional dial sliced from natural Gibeon iron-ore meteorite.The dial showcases a mesmerizing Widmanstätten crystal structure unique to each individual piece, punctuated by beautifully polished, tapered solid silver indices and Lancette shaped hands.
Movement side is a total delight. Dark frosting covering the steel "bell gable" shaped bridges offer an incredible contrast to the golden wheels and high polished steel elements. The 22k rotor itself is an object of beauty which only adds to the appeal and functionality of the watch. A badge is secured by screws to the bridge indicating this is 1 of the 12 pieces of the Special Edition made for Cellini. The movement operates at 3 Hz and carries a power reserve of 56 hours.
Perhaps overlooked - given the beauty of the movement and the dial - is the Stainless Steel case which is visually interesting from every angle and measures 39.5mm x 10.5mm x 46.9mm lug-to-lug. Furnished on an OEM short length grey calfskin strap with signed Grönefeld pin buckle, and an additional worn grey buffalo strap with light blue stitching. Complete with Box & Papers dated May 2022.
