Women's Watch Holzkern Uranus
Our Watch of the Week
Our Watch of the Week this time is the women's watch Holzkern Uranus. It is especially versatile and multifaceted, and with its marble dial and walnut bezel, it has two real eye-catchers. These come together with the brown leather strap to create a harmonious overall look.
The different components of the Holzkern Uranus
Marble, probably related to "to shimmer, to shine," is a carbonate rock made up of the minerals calcite, dolomite, or aragonite. However, there are different meanings of the word marble: in petrographic terms, it is a metamorphic rock formed by the transformation (metamorphism) of limestone and other carbonate-rich rocks, deep within the earth through heat and pressure. In addition to the petrographic term, cultural and economic meanings of marble can also be distinguished.
A number of important buildings and works of art are made of marble. Today, marble is mainly used for floor and stair coverings, wall tiles, washbasins, and façade panels. The extraction of marble, which has been carried out for thousands of years, is still a laborious and time-consuming process today.
Today, you can also find this special rock in Holzkern watches. The Uranus women's watch features a complex marble dial with many different facets and layers.
English walnut is a deciduous tree that sheds its leaves in summer from the walnut family. It is usually simply called a walnut tree or walnut in everyday language. The name originally means "foreign, or "nut from the Romans," since it came to Germany via France or Italy. Its fruits are the well-known walnuts. But the tree also provides valuable wood. This was used for the bezel of our Watch of the Week, or rather, the bezel is made from a thin walnut wood frame.
Leather is animal hide that has been chemically preserved, with its natural fiber structure largely retained. A distinction is made between the terms leather and fur. Leather is usually obtained from the layer of skin called the dermis. The so-called papillary layer, with its very fine fiber structure, forms the grain side on the finished leather, or simply "the grain." The outer covering of larger animals such as cattle, horses, buffalo, donkeys, and pigs is referred to as leather as well as hide in its raw, untanned state. Our Watch of the Week features a brown leather strap.
