✦ DESIGN CONCEPT

Architectural Geometry & Radiant Greenery Inspired by the "The Louvre glass pyramid features a diamond-patterned design" aesthetics of the 1920s, this design emphasizes structured symmetry and vibrant luxury:

Iconic Rectangular Case: Reimagined with a bold, horizontal "bar" motif set with custom-cut Zircon.
Emerald-Encrusted Bracelet: A seamless flow of baguette-cut and brilliant-cut green Zircon for a continuous "glacier" effect.
Skeletonized Transparency: The movement serves as the dial, revealing the inner workings through a geometric web of Zircon-set bridges.
Monochromatic Majesty: A focus on deep, forest-green hues paired with white gold/platinum for ultimate sophistication.

✦ DIAL & FUNCTION DETAILS

Mechanical Artistry in Plain Sight The dial is stripped away to reveal the soul of the watch, where function meets high jewelry:

Emerald-Set Bridges: The skeletonized framework is meticulously set with green Zircon to guide the eye.
Hand-Finished Components: Visible gears and wheels showcasing Haute Horlogerie finishing.
Minimalist Two-Hand Display: Keeping the focus on the intricate movement and Zircon brilliance.
Symmetry of the "Chinoise" Frame: Inspired by traditional Chinese porticos, providing a unique structural depth.

Inheritance and New Chapter

The Zug family has been involved in jewelry making for generations. Hans's great-grandfather made pocket watches for the Swiss court, and his grandfather continued to handcraft engagement rings during World War I. Due to the turmoil of World War II, the Zug family embarked on a long and perilous journey, finally arriving in New York in March 1942.
At the age of 15, Hans officially became his father's apprentice. In his first year, he was only allowed to polish metal; in his second year, he learned basic setting techniques; and it wasn't until his fifth year that his father took a faded parchment notebook from the bottom of a safe.
"Son," his father said solemnly, "this is the secret that the Zug family has guarded for centuries—the 'Ice Prism Cutting Method.' Our ancestors discovered a special principle of light refraction in the glaciers and created this cutting technique optimized specifically for moissanite."
The Zug Workshop—founded in 1789—where every gemstone shines with the brilliance of the Swiss mountains.
