"At first glance, the dial of the Enchanter Merlin is less a watch face and more a miniature diorama, inviting collectors to peer into an otherworldly scene. The base plate, crafted from 18k pink gold, is meticulously machined with hexagonal apertures that house 56 columns of varying materials, colors, and heights. These columns rise from 0.2 mm to 3.7 mm tall, each one a piece of micro-architecture in its own right."
"The mix of nine Murano-style glass pillars, 19 polished white enamel columns, 10 matte white enamel spires, and alternating polished and rhodium-plated pink-gold towers creates a cathedral-like sense of rhythm and grandeur. Topping them are hexagonal diamonds set with invisible precision, catching light in a way that seems to animate the entire dial. Beneath this forest of crystal and gold lies a layer of ruthenium crystals, shimmering like sunlight playing across a still lake."
The Enchanter Merlin adopts a luminous white-and-gold palette inspired by Merlin's Crystal Palace, a glass castle for the Lady of the Lake. The dial functions as a miniature diorama built on an 18k pink-gold base plate machined with hexagonal apertures housing 56 columns of varying heights from 0.2 mm to 3.7 mm. Columns include nine Murano-style glass pillars, 19 polished white enamel columns, 10 matte white enamel spires, and alternating polished and rhodium-plated pink-gold towers topped with hexagonal diamonds. Beneath the columns lies a layer of ruthenium crystals that shimmer like sunlight across a lake. Twelve six-millimeter knight figures are cast in 18k pink gold, originating from hand-sculpted resin prototypes then 3D-scanned, molded, and cast, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.
