Angular Momentum Oriental BlossomTime Cushion Watch Collection

Filed under: Jewelry, Timepieces / Watches

Angular Momentum might just be the premier producer of intriguing limited edition watches, often specifically designed for select high profile clientele. This limited edition of 20 watch set is the Oriental Blossom Time Cushion collection. One model features an Asian jewel known as the Padparadscha, which literally translates from Sanskrit to mean "lotus flower color." The light pink and orange color is commonly imagined as the marriage of a Sri Lanken Lotus Flower and a sunset. The rare jewel is used to mark the time in the disc aperture window, and can be set in one of two ways (either above or below the hour disc window).

The second Oriental Blossom watch features a tear drop shaped blue sapphire. Both models share a similar cushion shaped case of differing dimensions, but each with an organic feel. The cases are hand decorated 18k gold set with 100 full cut diamonds placed on the surface. The ornate floral decorations on the case require many hours of skilled labor using an almost lost art. Angular Momentum is of the few world brands capable of producing this particular style of elaborate woman's timepieces.

Inside the Oriental Blossom Time Cushion watches are nickel lever automatic mechanical movements. Time is presented on a single rotating disc displayed in the aperture window. The watches are attached to hand sewn black or brown alligator leather straps. These watches literally are rare gems produced for extremely exclusive clients of Angular Momentum.

Angular Momentum has taken their signature look of ornately detailed watch dials under sapphire crystals and transposed them to new "artisan rings." There are four styles in white gold accented with diamonds and set under curved sapphire crystals. Each style highlights one of Angular Momentum's techniques for watch decoration. They are beautiful but the Angular Momentum website doesn't give a size on these but they seem a bit large for comfortable wear.

The Guilloche Negoro Artisan Ring "Negoro Koi" features a hand-carved Japanese lacquer medallion of a Koi carp on a guilloche ground.
The Guilloche Noir Artisan Ring "Koi" has a similar carp but done in black.
The High Relief Artisan Ring "Oriental Blossoms" has a hand carved medallion in 18 Kt. yellow gold.
The Verre Èglomisé Artisan Ring "Peony" has a "Verre Èglomisé" miniature painting of a peony on the reverse of the curved sapphire crystal.
