O-YOROI Sakura 02 by Romano Alberti

Description A collection rich in symbolism, O-Yoroi is a tribute by the Brescia-based designer Romano Alberti to the legendary figure of the Samurai, warrior of ancient Japan, and to his philosophy of life.  The clock, a true art object, evokes a duel between two "bushi" in constant study and observation, regardless of the passing of time.
 Each component of the watch recalls the different parts that make up the Samurai armor.  Dial and crown resume the head protection (Kabuto), the crown protector recalls the shoulder protection (Sode) while the distinctive elements of the protection for the arms (Kote), the torso (Do), the belly (Kusazuri), the legs (Haidate) and the feet (Sune-ate) we find them represented around the case and in the handles.     CALIBER Self-winding mechanical movement Sellita caliber SW260-1 - Swiss Made 31 rubies, 28.800 alternations per hour Power reserve up to 38 hours FUNCTIONS Hours, minutes, seconds, date 3 days WATERPROOF Up to 3 ATM (30 meters) EARNINGS Ø 43 mm, thickness 11.50 mm From handle to handle: 45 mm Round, steel Bezel in steel and black composite resin Anti-reflective sapphire glass Exposed case back, fixed with 4 screws, print on mineral glass.
