Dive into History

As fragile diplomatic discussions continued between Tokyo and Washington, on December 7, 1941, at 7:48 a.m., the Japanese air force, launched from six aircraft carriers, crossed the Pacific to deliver a surprise strike against the American base at Pearl Harbor. More than 2,400 lives were lost, and dozens of ships were destroyed. This lightning offensive sealed the decisive entry of the United States into World War II.

US Navy destroyers

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.

Battleships of the USA Navy

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.
Battleships

The memory of our heroes

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.

An emotional feat in the waters of Pearl Harbor

The Pearl 1941 collection contains water taken from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Distilled in our workshops, it is encapsulated between two glasses forming the bezel. Time is read through these waters, the scene of the most violent battles on American soil. Each piece is unique, thanks to the history it contains. The collection is limited to 500 numbered pieces.

“I couldn't sleep that night. I felt that history was unfolding before us.”

— Winston Churchill, on the United States' entry into the war after Pearl Harbor
