Adham Wa Azraq (The Black and Blue), the third design of our Primaris Collection, is second of four luxurious watch design we made inspired by Arabesque art

Adham Wa Azraq (The Black and Blue), the third design of our Primaris Collection, is second of four luxurious watch design we made inspired by Arabesque art
Featuring the rare & exquisite Pietersite stone, a highly unique crystal that originates from Windhoek, Namibia. Immediately recognizable through its swirling mass of colors and textures, it is often referred to as the “Tempest” for its similarity to a wild desert storm.
Pietersite represents the beauty of transformation and necessary chaos. Sometimes, life is like a storm, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful.
Each rectangular links are cut in-house with a 0.8-0.9 cm width allowing for a more uniformed look and better curve transition
Arabesque patterns adorn the strap and the clasp including the clasp part. We chose the triangular expression to mimic the 'pointer of a compass'.
We made a timeless construction with a premium watch case with two-toned finish. Housing an NH35 movement, it is the hallmark of quality and reliability. The intricate dial geometry is formed from merging four different Arabesque patterns, cut in a skeletonized method. The hands are custom-made to add a touch of uniqueness. Four opals adorn the cardinal directions.

Important note: We make a promise with each Primaris watch owner, that we will never replicate their design. As such, changes are necessary, and we offer them in one tier only. Primarius links (in-house cut rectangular stones in strap) vary according to wrist size & precious stones/metals (dial) are fixed as per the inspiration design. In this case, we use twelve Pietersite links (strap) and four Water Opal (dial), adding more can be requested. When ordered, all the details of your masterpiece will be confirmed before we proceed with manufacturing.
