“Primordial Passion” is a timepiece that brings together nearly 30 years of experience in artistic crafts and the heritage of ancient Albanian culture from the jewellery house Pirro. Art meets innovation in this unique model, which aims to puts Albania on the map of high-end watchmaking.
This masterpiece, encapsulated under an anti-reflective sapphire crystal dome, features twelve Albanian folk dancers to mark the hours. They are all crafted in yellow 18K gold, representing twelve regions, each unique and diverse in their respective regional embroidery, reflected in the micro figurines through hyper-realism. Each figurine has been finely designed and engraved within a micron range of 9-10mm height, preserving the originality of sculptural artwork.
The central fix mechanical movement, resulting from the fruitful cooperation with Agenhor, enables the assembling of this composition. Beneath the black onyx Pirro emblem, four instrumentalists in 18K gold are seated within the black gold eagle sculpture. Another notable characteristic is the bi-color hour hands in black and yellow 18K gold, shaped like eagle claws, indicating the hours and minutes.
The watchcase, crafted from 18K yellow gold, measures 46.5mm in diameter and 22mm in height, including the sapphire crystal dome.
The dial composed of a diverse artistic micro-mosaic in a red-black gradient of Murano glass stones, consisting of 1500 stones in eight different colors and 64 cuts, the smallest measuring only 0.2mm.
The gradient and brand texture are adjusted accordingly to their shades to indicate the hours. The fine gold geometric pattern on the dial, confining the micro-mosaic stones, forms the Pirro brand motif.
Thanks to the state-of-the-art Swiss technological advancements and investments, the creativity of the timepiece is preserved through the precise artistic execution of the watch case and back cover. The back cover reflects the illustrated scene with the folk dancers engraved in micro-relief.
“Primordial Passion” breathes life into art, history, and tradition through its superb design and high-tech craftsmanship. It is a testament to the love, values, and passion behind every detail, making it a unique and exceptional piece.
The dial floor underneath their feet is a micro-mosaic composed of 1,500 tiny tiles made of Murano glass in eight shades of gradated red and black with 64 different cuts, with the smallest tile measuring a minuscule 0.2mm.
Outlined in gold, the dial’s geometric pattern also seems to radiate from the center due to the tiles getting larger as they near the periphery. Meanwhile, the red shade of the tiles under the dancers deepens, functioning as a sort of secondary set of hour markers.
All the gold components, including the figurines and the case, which measures 46.5mm in diameter (the sapphire crystal dome reaches a height of 22mm), have been produced in-house by Pirro. Finally, theme extends to the solid gold caseback, which is engraved with a rendering of the dial scene in micro-relief.
