Origin of the watch
The Lion is one of the most common symbols of strength and greatness for thousands of years. The Lion is a kind of carrier of solar energy. In reality, the Lion is the personification of the Sun. Lion's symbolism, associated with the Sun, is based not on his behavior (after all, the lion is a night hunter), but on his noble appearance - a gorgeous, beautifully colored skin, lush mane - and on his physical qualities
In all its aspects the lion is the highest international totem of force with its mighty roar, mane, strong body, mind, the personification of royal power , wisdom and vigilance, of patronage and protection, justice and firmness, will power, but also of cruelty, ferocity and death.
The Lion is one of the key figures in heraldry. His general heraldic form is the lion standing on hind legs in profile.
On richly ornamented enamel watch dial the Lion is represented in profile. Fulfilled in the technique of relief, the Lion is represented in a dynamic pose; standing on his hind legs, he leans with one of his front legs on the tourbillion bridge, the other paw rests upon the axis of hands indicating the time. All the details and the design of the dial serve as the main idea of the power over the world and time, which is personified by Lion.
