The 1521 NORTHERN HEMISPHERE features a stylized globe representing the Northern Hemisphere, with continents depicted in vivid colors that create a striking contrast against the dial’s background.
The globe is a true work of art, hand-painted to bring the contours and details of the continents to life, while establishing a unique visual dynamism. Subtly positioned beneath a crystal sphere, this dial serves as the beating heart of the timepiece, inviting a visual journey through a world rich in history and geography.
The dial’s base, crafted from white mother-of-pearl, highlights lines of latitude printed in black—a detail that adds a touch of sophistication while making the geographical coordinates easy to read. This contrast creates a perfect harmony between the elegance of the dial and the intricate nature of the cartographic representation.
