Known among collectors as the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Tempest Stone\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, pietersite is a rare chatoyant quartz shot through with fibres of blue and gold crocidolite, the same mineral family as tiger's eye, but broken up, folded and re-cemented by immense geological pressure. The result is a surface that looks like storm clouds, a pattern that \u003cstrong\u003eshifts as the light moves across it\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecan never be replicated\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is sourced from \u003cstrong\u003eHenan Province, China\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of only two places on Earth where pietersite is found. Each rough slice is then brought to our bench, where it is \u003cstrong\u003efinished by hand in Belgium\u003c\/strong\u003e: sized, surfaced and polished to bring out the chatoyancy that makes this stone special, before the numerals and minute track are applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Rare Material, Refined\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is framed by \u003cstrong\u003eapplied Breguet numerals\u003c\/strong\u003e and a finely executed \u003cstrong\u003eapplied minute track\u003c\/strong\u003e, the same execution as our flagship dinosaur bone. The classical typography brings order to the chaos of the stone: refined watchmaking laid over raw geology. The contrast is what makes it work, a dial that feels elegant from across the room and wild up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Only 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003epre-order\u003c\/strong\u003e, limited to \u003cstrong\u003e50 pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e, and there will be \u003cstrong\u003eno restock\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce these are spoken for, the Pietersite will not return in this form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHZ5000A micro-rotor automatic movement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-rotor design for a slim and elegant profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28,800 bph (4 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e42-hour power reserve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop-seconds (hacking) and hand-winding capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e38 mm stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDomed sapphire crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapphire exhibition caseback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine pietersite (\"Tempest Stone\")\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from Henan Province, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished by hand in Belgium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChatoyant blue, gold and grey fibrous structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied Breguet numerals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied minute track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvery dial unique\u003c\/strong\u003e in structure, colour and pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrey suede strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL'Artisan signed buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003epre-order\u003c\/strong\u003e.
