The hour markers on the dial echo the serial numbers of the frigates lost in the attack, also known as "destroyers." A discreet but powerful tribute to these unsung heroes, whose sacrifice remains etched in history.

The names engraved on the case rim correspond to those of the battleships hit during the attack on Pearl Harbor, each bearing the name of a U.S. state. The toll of the assault was tragic: 18 of the 96 ships on the island of Oahu were demolished or severely damaged. The date of December 7, 1941, marking this historic turning point, is engraved at 12 o'clock, forever recalling this moment in history.

The human losses during the attack amounted to 2,335 killed and 1,143 wounded. The water trapped in the dial echoes the memory of these American fighters. Through this "Pearl 1941" timepiece, time reads like a tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for freedom, carrying history and the courage of these men with every passing second.

Like sonar, the hour and minute hands sweep the dial with precision.

The SOS inscription, represented in Morse code, stands for "Save Our Ship" and points to the exact time of 7:49 a.m. This precise moment marks the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Air Force, a reminder of resilience in the face of adversity.

Engraved on the back of the watch is President Franklin Roosevelt's famous quote from December 8, 1941, calling the date "a day that will live in infamy." This phrase has become one of the most iconic in connection with the unprecedented attack on Pearl Harbor, a pivotal moment in U.S. history.

Pearl Harbor is a shallow bay located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, near Honolulu. Once believed to be the residence of the shark goddess Ka'ahupahau, it means "harbor of pearls" and inspired the name of the collection. Primarily used for pearl oyster production until the late 19th century, it became strategic after the Spanish-American War of 1898, leading the United States to annex the archipelago for a permanent presence in the Pacific.
