"Ora Ïto draws influences from astronomy for the design of his Vacheron Constantin Patrimony watch. The circular movement of light refers to the Baily's Beads, 'a spectacular phenomenon that accompanies an eclipse of the sun by the moon.' This idea is manifested in the golden ripples and pearls representing minutes on the yellow gold dial, reflecting the constant motion we see in the galaxy."
"The self-winding watch shines in yellow gold, paired with a burgundy calfskin strap. The dial mimics Japanese zen gardens, with infinite ripples expanding out from the center. Gone are the numbers or symbols for the minutes; they’ve been replaced with 'pearls' or dots colored in yellow gold. Sharp-tip pyramids serve as hour markers pointing back to the dial's center, creating a vintage-style monochrome design."
