Nereide Turchese celebrates the centuries-old journey of a gemstone once traded along ancient routes from Persia to Venice. Admired for its vivid hue and protective significance, turquoise became a treasured element in the city’s artisan workshops. This timepiece pays homage to that tradition, where the depth of history meets contemporary craftsmanship.

Turquoise is an opaque gemstone with shades ranging from sky blue to aqua green. Admired since antiquity for its natural beauty and symbolic value, it is composed mainly of copper and aluminum. Its porous surface, crossed by irregular veins, makes each specimen unique. Rich in history, turquoise has always been associated with balance, mental clarity, and a deep connection with the elements of nature.

Turquoise requires meticulous and delicate processing, in line with its fragile nature. Cold cutting makes it possible to shape the stone without compromising its integrity, producing thin slabs ideal for dial making. This is followed by finishing and polishing phases using fine-grain abrasives, which give the material a compact, luminous surface that enhances its natural expressiveness.
