The watches nominated for the GPHG always have very special features, especially in the Artistic Craft category. For the first time, a watch from Albania is competing in this category in 2024. This timepiece is the first masterpiece from Artistic Jewellery Pirro, called Primordial Passion, a unique
timepiece that brings together the exceptional craftmanship of the maison and the heritage of ancient Albanian culture.
Renowned for exquisite jewellery, medals, coin reliefs, figurines, miniature sculptures, and
handmade filigree artwork full of history that are filled with spirit and energy, the brand has
built a spiritual bridge between the past and the future.
Through tireless work and dedication to quality and authenticity, the brand has become a national symbol of pride and a custodian of ancient Albanian culture.
PRIMORDIAL PASSION
Primordial Passion is the first timepiece ever created by the maison and represents an artistic achievement, masterfully crafted to represent a perfect symbiosis between advanced innovative techniques and traditional classical aesthetics.
Meticulously designed and manufactured in-house, Pirro’s Primordial Passion represents everything Pirro stands for: heritage, artisanal craftsmanship and precision.
“I want to measure time with timeless beauty, by creating artistic and unique watches that
transcend functionality to become enduring pieces of art”- Pirro.
Features of Primordial Passion
This masterpiece, encapsulated under an anti-reflection 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, the Geneva based watchmaker, 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 dial is 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. The back cover reflects the illustrated scene with the folk dancers engraved in micro-relief.
The watchcase, crafted from 18K yellow gold, measures 46.5mm in diameter and 22mm in
height, including the sapphire crystal dome.
