The watch "embroidery of Guimarães" is a tribute to one of the oldest Portuguese embroideries.
The originality of this embroidery is the amount of a specific needlework called "purl", wich is a thread
very fine and curled in a spiral, in relation to the enormous diversity of needlework used and the singularity
of the geometric drawings of floral inspiration.
The embroidery of Guimarães is a delicate and rigorous work of cotton thread on homemade linen,
a feminine craft, wich has evolved from the popular embroideries used in traditional costumes.
