Magnum Opus Blue: The Ultimate Timepiece

Aritani's Signature Diamond Watch

A passion for design and the pursuit of perfection

The birth of Aritani watches is the result of a relentless pursuit to create the ultimate timepiece. Inspired by a passion for design and a desire to craft the perfect watch, Kyoung T. Kim has created Magnum Opus Blue, a truly exceptional timepiece.

What sets Magnum Opus Blue apart from other watches is its signature design featuring four main diamonds on the face. These diamonds, which can only be found in Aritani watches, add a touch of elegance and sophistication. Crafted by master craftsmen, each watch is meticulously handcrafted to ensure the highest level of quality and precision.

Made from 18k white gold, Magnum Opus Blue boasts over 8 carats of round cut diamonds, including the four main diamonds on the face. The diamonds are carefully placed underneath the watch needles, a feat that required immense technical skill and precision. The watch also features 1.8 carats of blue sapphires, adding a pop of color to the design.

Creating a watch of this caliber is no easy task. The design team, led by Kyoung T. Kim and Junho Kim, faced numerous challenges in bringing Magnum Opus Blue to life. The most difficult part was incorporating the large diamonds underneath the watch needles, between the watch movement and the needles themselves. This required careful planning and meticulous execution to ensure the diamonds were securely placed without affecting the functionality of the watch.

Magnum Opus Blue has been recognized for its exceptional design and craftsmanship. In 2013, it was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill. Magnum Opus Blue captivates with its technical prowess and exquisite beauty, evoking feelings of awe and wonder.

With Magnum Opus Blue, Aritani has created a timepiece that is truly the epitome of luxury and elegance. It is a testament to the dedication and passion of the design team, who have crafted a watch that is not only a functional accessory but also a work of art.
