A little bit about this Exclusive Brand History from the Internet:Established in 1983 by French entrepreneur Philippe Charriol, in Geneva, Charriol is a global prestige brand of timepieces, fine jewellery and accessories distributed worldwide. Our signature motifs include the Celtic Collection & iconic cable designs. Philippe Charriol.Swiss made, French styleCharriol timepieces are true Swiss Made watches and are all hand-assembled in the brand’s watchmaking atelier in Geneva, the birthplace of horology. Each timepiece is characterized by its qualities of precision, quality, luxury and authenticity, and after small beginnings, Charriol is now a global luxury brand whose products are appreciated and recognised the world over. Charriol also stands out through its design: often fusing the ancient and the modern world. Watches and jewelry draw on the worlds of art and sport, an adventurer attitude or a romantic spirit.Charriol’s Celtic heartEarly on in the creation of his brand, Philippe Charriol was inspired by a visit to the British Museum, where he had been enthralled by the Snetisham Torque, a superb example of early Iron Age Celtic metalwork. Wanting to pay homage to this great legacy, over the years, Charriol developed its own interpretation of this ancient design. The motif was reworked via new technologies and materials; today, Charriol’s ‘twisted cable’ design is now globally patented and recognized as a brand hallmark.CHARRIOL was the first to use steel cable as both decoration and for the watch bracelet itself.Watch Case Width without crown: 35mmWatch Case Width with Crown 39mmBrand: Philippe CharriolModel: Christopher Columbus 500th Year Anniversary 1492 - 1992Serial: 38.93.1222Gender: Men'sMovement Type: Swiss Quartz Case Size: 35 mm (39 mm with the crown)Case Thickness: 8 mmCase Material: 18K Yellow Gold/Stainless SteelBezel Material: 18K Yellow GoldCrystal Type: MineralDial Color: WhiteNumerals Type: RomanHour Hand Color: BlackCrown Type: Push PullCrown Material: 18K Yellow Gold with LogoBracelet Material: 18K Yellow Gold/Stainless SteelBracelet Color: Two ToneBuckle Type: Double Push Button Deployment Buckle Material: 18K Yellow Gold/Stainless Steel with LogoTotal Circumference: will fit up to 7 1/4" wrist size
