Turquoise in watchmaking

by @watches_and_culture

In the world of watches, just when we think we’ve seen it all, a new surprise awaits – the turquoise dial.

Imagine turquoise, with its serene blue shades, like a hidden swimming pool waiting to be discovered. It’s like a little vacation on your wrist, screaming paradise island vibes. Yet, behind its beauty lies a challenge.

Turquoise isn’t easy to work with. It’s as delicate as it is captivating, with artisans facing the daunting task of cutting the stone cleanly without risking cracks, all while ensuring it is free from any veins or patterns that might detract from its pristine appearance.

Watchmakers, always on the lookout for something special, couldn’t resist the charm of turquoise. They found that beyond its beauty, it had a unique quality that could turn watches into true works of art.

Craftsmanship comes into play here. Skilled artisans delicately shape and polish the stone, revealing its inner glow and personality. Each dial becomes a canvas, painted with the vibrant hues of turquoise, giving off a sense of calm and elegance.

And guess what? Big names like Piaget, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet couldn’t ignore the appeal of the turquoise dial either. In their timepieces, they aimed to capture the essence of sophistication, adding a playful touch with turquoise.

With every second that ticks by, these watches tell a story – one of exploration and the beauty found in something as simple as a turquoise stone. And so, the tale of the turquoise dial lives on, reminding us of the magic in watchmaking and the timeless allure of nature’s treasures.
