Honore Port

To celebrate more than 400 years of history of Quinta do Crasto, an emblematic Portuguese estate from Douro with wines recognized worldwide, Omdesign created and produced Honore Port, a special edition limited to 400 bottles of a very old tawny Port with more than 100 years, that mirrors the terraces of the Douro valley, where Quinta do Crasto stands guard. The major challenge was to develop a highly luxurious and differentiating packaging, made by the hands of Portuguese artisans, able to eternalize more than 4 centuries of history, identity and values of Quinta do Crasto.

The unpredictable nature of the sea - with its motions, forms, and reflections - inspired the creation of the ring.

Elemental

MYKU creates revered timepieces from semi-precious stones using top-of-the-line techniques. Using a variety of onyx which features alternating layered bands of milky white agate and black formed through natural rhythmic crystallisation in volcanic rock, each dial is individually crafted by precise polishing of the top layers to reveal the beauty within, meaning no two pieces are ever identical. This timepiece is encased in a gold-plated steel case polished with a satiny matte finish, finished with a flat sapphire crystal and leather strap for sleek perfection.

This was achieved by creating a complex non-linear geometry that remains simple in appearance. This sharpness was extrapolated by making most complimentary elements of the ring triangular in section, including the green tourmaline at its centre. The result is a visually striking yet ergonomic ring.
