The watchmaking company from Bern – Angular Momentum – presents its new collection of timepieces made in Verre Eglomise technique (“gilded glass”). Gilding of glass is a very old and labour-intensive technique which has been practically forgotten in our days. It seems to be very simple: gilding, engraving, painting, and glazing. But in fact the main difficulty of the technique is that all these operations are maid at the reverse side of the glass which means that all of them are made in reverse order.
The designers from Angular Momentum have created an amazing and unique timepiece using this unusual technique. They decorated the reverse side of the sapphire crystal covering the dial with an intricate and refined pattern. The pattern shows to birds: kingfisher and cockatoo.
Not to distract attention from the marvellous pattern the time is indicated in a separate aperture by means of rotary discs. The case of the watch measures 40.8 mm and is crafted from white gold. It is refinely decorated with diamonds. Inside the watch there is a Swiss automatic movement.
