Limited edition of 20 pieces.
The Métiers d'Art - La Symbolique Des Laques collection is devoted to the natural beauty of the seasons. For each model in the collection a front & back dial is created. The workmanship to create these dials took a total of more than 7 years!
- MAKI-E enameled dials: produced by artisians from the house of Zôhiko, masters in the art of "maki-e" style enamel painting. The art begins while the base paint has not yet dried, is then sprinkled with gold or silver powder to create unique designs.
- HANAMI - SPRING:
- The front dial is decorated with blossoming & flourishing flowers.
- The back dial is decorated with flowing long willow branches & with a typical Japanese bridge straddling the water.
