Exhibition spotlight: Alfardan Jewellery

This watch in particular took almost ten years to make from the concept, research, and development to the actual final piece. A single master watchmaker created it, and it holds an estimated value of more than $1 million. According to Dana Alfardan, Vice President of Alfardan Jewellery, “It contains 23 complications in an 8.7 mm [thick] caliber – caliber is the engine let’s say of the watch – and the complications are the different movements within the mechanism that strives to accurately tell time. In this specific watch, it contains astrological features [as] you’ve got the phases of the moon, minute repeater, high-tide low-tide, [and many other] different astrological and mechanical components. This 8.7 mm movement contains 514 different individual spare parts that come together to create this mastery of watchmaking.”
