Measuring 35.5 mm in diameter, this mother-of-pearl dial is a tribute to the maritime legacy of Andalusia, featuring a hand-painted galleon navigating through the open seas. The artwork is crafted with over fifteen expertly blended shades of sepia, deep navy, and golden amber, applied in layers to capture depth and realism.
The upper section of the dial showcases a sculpted relief of an ancient map, meticulously textured with raised elements depicting historical trade routes, architectural landmarks, and compass markings. The ship itself is rendered in exquisite detail, with precisely shaded sails, a grand hull, and intricate rigging, all achieved using ultra-fine miniature brushes for maximum accuracy.
Each paint layer undergoes controlled curing to ensure longevity and durability, preserving the depth and vibrancy of the artwork. The result is a one-of-a-kind, technically sophisticated masterpiece, seamlessly blending historical artistry with horological craftsmanship, making this dial a rare and collectible expression of Andalusia’s seafaring heritage.
