L'ARTISAN CHAROITE

L’Artisan – Charoite Dial | 38mm Ultra Thin

Time, traced in violet stone.

The L’Artisan Charoite Dial brings a rare gem to the wrist—charoite, a naturally occurring purple stone found only in one place on earth, near Russia’s Chara River. First discovered in the mid-1900s and revealed to the world much later, charoite is known for its swirling lavender, violet, and charcoal patterns that seem to move beneath the surface.

Each dial is cut from a solid slice of this stone, revealing waves, ribbons, and clouds of color that can never be repeated. No printing, no imitation—just nature, framed in steel. Every watch is, quite literally, one of one.

The ultra-thin 38 mm case in polished 316L stainless steel keeps the profile refined and wearable, while a domed crystal gently magnifies the movement of the stone beneath. Dauphine hands glide over the dial, sharp and minimal, allowing the natural artwork to remain the focus.

Inside, the dependable NH35 automatic movement from Seiko powers the watch with a 41-hour reserve, hacking and hand-winding for precise, hands-on control. On the outside, a soft grey suede strap echoes the cooler tones of the charoite, wrapping the wrist in comfort and quiet elegance.

For collectors who value rarity, subtle color, and honest mechanics, the L’Artisan Charoite is more than a watch—it’s a fragment of the earth, crafted into time.
