Hand crafted Ebony wood art watch Sustainably-sourced New Zealand abalone Featherweight – it feels amazing on your wrist Choice of blue, natural, rainbow, and red dials High-quality ETA Swiss-made quartz movement Sapphire crystal lens for superior scratch resistance Gold luminous hands Abalone is an organic gemstone, the same category as amber and pearl, that combines ideas of serenity and strength in equal measure. It is connected with tranquility, harmony, and clarity of mind. Crafted by magnificent mollusks, no two abalone patterns are the same and each watch is a unique and distinctive piece of wearable art. With its remarkable gem-like sheen, abalone is truly magical. This magnificent animal reinforces its shell with an iridescent mother-of-pearl in a wondrous array of rich colors in distinctive patterns. The beautiful reinforcing layer of microscopic calcium carbonate, stacked like bricks and held together by a shock-absorbing protein, gives the shell great strength. The Maori people of New Zealand believe the shell strengthens the body and the heart of the wearer, allowing them to communicate their feelings more clearly. The way the colors of the shell shift in the light is also a symbol of change and transition in Maori culture. Shipped in an engraved bamboo box.
