The architectural splendor of Anatolia comes alive with the Beaufort Anatolia Automatic timepiece.
Carved out of solid stainless steel, a quite magnificent watch which displays depth, detail and a construction that is artistic in its layering and construction. A main dial with subseconds display at the 6 o’clock position sits in the upper half of the watch only to give way to swooping bridges that flow down to the bicameral open heart mainspring display.
All of this fascinating organic construction sits underneath the hardened mineral lens aptly curved to contain the mechanics within while still delivery an elegant beautiful timepiece.
A pillar motif design encapsulates the side of the case creating an even more regal feeling to this quite stunning timepiece. Powered through the elegant mechanics of the Earnshaw self-winding automatic movement visible via the see through exhibition caseback and strapped to the wearer with a supple yet robustly enduring leather strap.

Sir Francis Beaufort 1774 –1857 was an Irish hydrographer and officer in Britain's Royal Navy. Beaufort was the creator of the Beaufort Scale for indicating wind force.
Noted as a seminal figure in the confluence of the Royal Navy, meteorologist and astrologists, scientists Beaufort was a founding member of the Royal Geographic Society and member of the Royal Society and helmed the Arctic Council. He was also the head administrator and did much to further the fields of astronomy and navigation from the famed observatories in Greenwich England and the Cape of Good Hope, Africa.
Beaufort trained Robert FitzRoy, who was put in command of the survey ship HMS Beagle. When he requested of Beaufort "that a well-educated and scientific gentleman be sought" as a companion on second voyage of the Beagle.
Beaufort's enquiries led to an invitation to Charles Darwin, who later drew on his discoveries in formulating the theory of evolution he presented in his book The Origin of Species.
