Origin of the watch
Power, authority, vigilance, velocity and strength – the most mysterious of mystical creatures of ancient times – the GRIFFIN, is famous for the sum total of these qualities. This truly magnificent creation is a confluence of the most powerful animals and combines the qualities of kings of animals.
It was believed that the messenger of the gods will protect securely from misfortune and bring wealth. Today, the image of this mythical animal is found in the architecture and in art of many nations. GRIFFIN - is a noble creature, which represents the protection and righteousness, and is one of the royal symbols of England.
GRIFFIN, presented on the watch dial, in contrast with his widespread predecessors and prototypes, embodies four sources, four elements; the head and wings are traditionally aquiline which symbolizes the air; the front of body and legs are leonine – the element of the earth; the tail is like a dragon's, and the dragon is a fire- spouting animal; and finally, the spine, covered with fish scales, symbolizes the element of water. The release of these watches in four colors - blue (water), red (fire), purple (air), and green (earth) - is partly due to this fact.
The Air - is the symbol of the spiritual life, liberty and purity. The element of the air participates in the transmission of information and provides intelligence, speed of speech, independent character, which easily changes his point of view.
The amethyst - the symbol of security and peace - complements all symbolism of the design. Its internal energy helps to find inner peace and inner harmony, to keep the health.
