March 31, 2024 in Fashion & Style by Charlotte Sinclair
Belarus proudly presents a new jewel in the realm of horology - the Star Chronicle collection by Hvilina, also affectionately known as "Минута." This exclusive series transcends mere timekeeping to serve as a tangible chronicle of history, paying tribute to the revered 16th-century intellectual, Francysk Skaryna.
The Star Chronicle line distinguishes itself with an enchanting cosmic theater dial, where the sun, moon, and stars dance in harmony, echoing ancient Belarusian mythology and the emblematic coat of arms of Skaryna himself. These watches are an embodiment of reverence for the past, as well as an acknowledgment of Belarus' enduring cultural legacy.
The collection caters to all aficionados: the 43mm men's models feature the esteemed Miyota 9122 automatic movement, while the 39mm women's variants are powered by a dependable quartz mechanism. With a mere 500 pieces released for each model, the Star Chronicle series promises not just a timepiece, but a piece of exclusivity intertwined with historical resonance.
Hvilina's Star Chronicle proudly showcases the pinnacle of Belarusian artisanship, a narrative that extends far beyond the notorious Saddam Hussein portrait model once offered by the Minsk Watch Plant “Luch”. The Star Chronicle stands as an illustrious tribute to a truly noble figure, Francysk Skaryna, weaving his scholarly wisdom around the wrists of those who cherish the fusion of time and enduring heritage.
