The four sides of divinity…
Continually striving for beauty and perfection, artists have always explored the possibilities of geometry and symmetry. The square is a fundamental symbol, but also a source of endless inspiration evocative of balance, harmony and serenity. Infinitely superimposed or arrayed, a square can be used to form numerous compositions ranging from delicate paving to a highly-structured checked pattern.
This year, with its new line DIVYA, the CENTURY watchmaking house leaves its mark with the ageless allure of a time-honoured square, freed from fashion and trends.
DIVYA, an evocative name meaning “The Divine One” in Hindi. A part of the PRECIOUS ELEGANCE collection dedicated to classically elegant timepieces, DIVYA is an ode to purity expressed with grace and shimmer…
A true homage to symmetry, the CENTURY sapphire case, water-resistant to 100 meters, is made even more distinguished with a 25-facet checked pattern, cut and polished by hand by master artisans. Extremely refined, the case profile is delicately curved to enhance its radiance even further. To perfect its delicate silhouette, DIVYA is dressed in 18 ct white or yellow gold while its sumptuous satin strap blends with the colour of the metal.
The strength of sapphire balances the softness of natural mother-of-pearl, while the entire ensemble is illuminated by a delicate border of diamonds. As they race unrestrained around the watch, the hour and minute hands follow 12 brilliant-cut diamonds outlining the dial.
By the light of day DIVYA reveals all her beauty by offering the ephemeral spectacle of a bewitching play of forms and colours in a kaleidoscope of reflections...
