The iconic black taxi and red double-decker bus, symbols of London, are beautifully captured on the dial of the Jacques Drouot London Harold painted enamel wristwatch. The unmistakable silhouette of Harrods, one of London’s most famous luxury department stores, serves as the inspiration for this unique timepiece. This is just one example of how architecture has influenced watch design. Other brands have also drawn inspiration from architectural masterpieces. For instance, in 2006, Blancpain launched its Women series, inspired by the Gothic architecture of Amiens Cathedral, while Chanel’s classic J12 watches were inspired by the Vienna State Opera, often referred to as the "World Opera Center."
Today, we’re introducing you to Rudis Sylva’s “Harmonious Oscillator†collection—a series of three watches each inspired by a distinct building. These timepieces showcase the brand’s dedication to blending art, engineering, and architecture into a single, elegant creation.
In early November, Rudis Sylva unveiled three one-of-a-kind watches at the Le Locle Watch Museum. The pieces were then displayed publicly from November 7 to 13 at the Demon Desert Castle. Each watch reflects the brand's commitment to traditional craftsmanship, using the finest techniques from the Jura Valley. The green dial represents the Oman Auditorium, the red dial symbolizes the Baile Majilis Parliament in Oman, and the blue dial pays homage to Oman Airport.
Each timepiece continues the legacy of the Harmonic Oscillator movement, with meticulous attention to detail. The movement is hand-finished, featuring intricate beveling and polishing. The lugs are precisely angled at 45 degrees, giving the watch a refined and elegant look. The regulator frame and bridge are adorned with delicate engraving, while the fir-tree-shaped hands ensure clear and precise timekeeping.
The dials are finished with an enamel coating, available in three striking colors: red, green, and blue. The process involves careful grinding and application of enamel powder, followed by multiple firing steps to achieve a smooth and vibrant finish.
The Harmonic Oscillator is a groundbreaking innovation in horology. Unlike conventional tourbillons, it offers superior precision due to its asymmetrical design, which performs equally well in all positions. This movement features a double-sawtooth balance wheel, replicating the resonant effects of early oscillators in history.
From the rose gold case to the platinum-dial engravings, every element of these watches tells a story of craftsmanship, innovation, and artistic expression. Whether you're a watch enthusiast or an admirer of architecture, the “Harmonious Oscillator†collection is a true masterpiece that bridges the gap between time and design.
