This collector's item stands out with an exceptional element: a dial crafted from imperial green granite.
A noble and deeply symbolic material, it echoes the base on which Napoleon's tomb rests at Les Invalides, a place of memory and grandeur.
At its heart, the imperial “N”, taken from the Emperor’s coat of arms and inspired by one of his thrones, rises solemnly.
It also recalls its place at the center of the collar of the Legion of Honor — as a seal of authority, prestige and heritage.
The crown depicted on this coin pays homage to Napoleon's imperial crown, created especially for his coronation on December 2, 1804.
A symbol of authority and legitimacy, it embodies the moment when man becomes a legendary figure, wearing the crown on his head to affirm that his power comes only from himself.
A symbol borrowed from the Roman emperors, the laurel was chosen by Napoleon as his crown during his imperial coronation.
An honorary distinction par excellence, it has embodied victory and grandeur since Antiquity. Worn on his brow on the day of his elevation, the laurel became for Napoleon an assumed legacy, a link between the centuries and a reminder that each triumph is part of the continuity of a History in progress. "To live defeated and without glory is to die every day." This famous quote from Napoleon Bonaparte powerfully embodies the spirit of a man for whom existence found meaning only in conquest, determination and the refusal of resignation. A thought that transcends time, like his legacy.
On May 5, 1821, at the age of 51, Napoleon Bonaparte died in exile on the island of Saint Helena, following his second abdication. Far from the battlefields and the imperial court, it was in isolation that he saw the end of an extraordinary destiny - that of a man whose legend continues to span the centuries. The hand of justice, represented on the hour hand, is one of the major emblems of the imperial coat of arms. Used during Napoleon's coronation, it embodies judicial power and reminds us that all true authority is exercised within the framework of law and fairness. A detail charged with meaning, inscribed in the heart of time. Represented on the minute hand, this figure from the imperial coat of arms was chosen by Napoleon to anchor his dynasty in the history of France. A powerful symbol of immortality and resurrection, it reflects the Emperor's desire to link his reign to the deep roots of the nation, by inscribing his power in the continuity of a thousand-year-old heritage.
The Symbols of Timelessness
The Leonardo Da Vinci 1519 watch embodies much more than a simple timepiece; it is a living tribute to the master's spirit. On its dial, the Fibonacci sequence unfolds like perfect harmony, reflecting the beauty and order of the universe. The Vitruvian Man, emblem of balance and human proportion, comes to life at the center of the watch, capturing Da Vinci's quest for harmony between man and nature. The discreetly engraved excerpts from da Vinci's codices bear witness to his visionary genius, while the warrior spirit of the Battle of San Romano recalls the bravery and strategy that animated his works and ideas. Every detail of this watch pays homage to Da Vinci's multidimensional oeuvre, fusing art, science, and power.
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
— Leonardo da Vinci
The Essence of Da Vinci's Genius
The Automatic version of the Leonardo Da Vinci 1519 watch is distinguished by its subtle pink background, bringing a touch of warmth and sophistication. True to the spirit of Da Vinci, the hands move counterclockwise, a reference to the artist's inverted handwriting, symbolizing his constant quest to push boundaries and see things from a different perspective. The crown is placed on the left of the watch, a bold choice that recalls Da Vinci's unique creations. An innovative and elegant design that harmoniously blends tradition and avant-garde vision.
