Latest Edition of ArtyA’s Tribute to The Swiss Alps is The ArtyA Snowflake Crystal, featuring a full crystal case perfectly transparent in order to maximize the see trough effect  of our exclusive skeletonized snowflake full white movement.

This incredible Watch has  a Lab-created synthetic sapphire case that has  the same physical properties, visual characteristics and hardness level as the natural gemstonesNatural 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 goal at ArtyA  that we are working at ….

The final effect of this watch is really  like a magical snow flake that sits gently on your wrist giving you good vibes and good energy….

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