Vario Empire Art Nouveau - The Art of Hand-Engraved Dials in Watchmaking
In the world of fine watchmaking, hand-engraved dials represent one THING of the most captivating intersections of mechanical precision and artistic mastery. A hand-engraved dial elevates a timepiece into the realm of wearable art, speaking to the soul of traditional craftsmanship.
Vario commissioned MwM Atelier to create a small batch of hand engraved dials. MwM Atelier, a family owned Switzerland based watchmaking studio with Ukranian roots have kept traditional crafts alive till today.
The [dial’s] floral pattern is hand engraved by Ukrainian master engravers. Each dial takes 2 days to complete and one slip of the graver can ruin hours of meticulous work. The dial is plated with rhodium and 24k gold. The Art Deco numerals, Vario's scripted logo (designed to match the time period) and the lines are laser engraved before being filled with enamel by Ivane's wife, Olha. The dial is then assembled into a complete watch in Japan. 100 pieces of all 4 variants were made in total.
The Vario Empire is your gateway to one of the greatest periods in Art Deco design. Each thoughtfully-designed watch, made entirely of custom parts, houses a high beat handwound movement and conforms to your wrist with its soft and supple Italian leather strap straight out of the box.
