ArtyA Shams Crystal featuring a full crystal case perfectly transparent in order to maximize the see trough effect of our exclusive

ArtyA Shams skeletonized movement.

 

The story is that of the sun – Shams in Arabic.

The aim of a skeleton is to reveal the movement, workings and mechanical beauty in all their glory. But that requires light. What better source of light could there be than the one that has given us life – the sun?

Once again, ArtyA reconciles extremes and opens up a new creative path, combining a movement clad in the absolute minimum with all the warmth of a life-giving heavenly body.

This incredible Watch has a Lab-created synthetic sapphire case that has the same physical properties, visual characteristics, and hardness level as the natural gemstones. Natural sapphires are created by the earth and mined, which makes them rare. The synthetic stones (known as corundum, a chemically pure, aluminum oxide) are created by man in a carefully controlled environment.

This case is incredibly scratch proof because of the remarkable hardness of sapphires – 9 on the Moh’s scale (apx 1800 Vickers) the third hardest mineral, after diamond at 10 and moissanite at 9,5

This is why it is long difficult and costly to create a full sapphire case to the high standard of ArtyA

There is another side for ArtyA that is of high interest to us, sapphire have properties and powers that we can feel and enjoy or at least consider positively.

The sapphire has, for centuries, been seen as a symbol of  heavens, a guardian of innocence, a bestower of truth, a promoter of good health, and a preserver of chastity. It is believed to brings gifts of fulfillment, joy, prosperity, inner peace and beauty. Some wore it to ward off illness or as protection while traveling.

They preserve the wearer from envy and attract divine favor. In the 12th Century, the sapphire was known as the most appropriate stone for ecclesiastical rings

In the middle ages, people believed wearing a sapphire suppressed negative thoughts. It also has been long believed to have a curing power for natural ailments. In ancient Persia, if ground up, it was used as an all purpose medicine. Ivan the Terrible of Russia  stated that the sapphire strengthened the heart and muscles and endowed a person with courage.

But the most important attribute of the sapphire was said to be the protection against sorcery- it was thought to banish evil spirits and send negative spells back to the sender.

They will help you connect to the universe, that is, they can open your internal and spiritual self to the powers of the universe.

And this is one of our goals at ArtyA that we are working at …

The aim of a skeleton is to reveal the movement, workings and mechanical beauty in all their glory. But that requires light. What better source of light could there be than the one that has given us life – the sun? Once again, ArtyA reconciles extremes and opens up a new creative path, combining a movement clad in the absolute minimum with all the warmth of a life-giving heavenly body.  

The work has been difficult but the result is simply amazing, powerful, elegant and timeless.
