About Carsar

Carsar is known for producing bold jewelry watches in the late 20th century, often working with luxury materials like natural stones and statement designs that blurred the line between horology and high fashion. This lapis lazuli cuff watch is a perfect representation of that ethos—more than just a timepiece, it is a wearable jewel, reflecting both the artistry of natural gemstones and the extravagance of the 1980s.

The Lapis Lazuli Legacy

Revered since antiquity, lapis lazuli has been one of the most prized gemstones in human history. Used by the ancient Egyptians to adorn pharaohs, sarcophagi, and sacred objects, it was seen as a stone of protection, wisdom, and divine connection. During the Renaissance, it was ground into powder to create the famous ultramarine pigment used in masterpieces by artists like Michelangelo. Its intense deep blue, often flecked with golden pyrite, symbolizes royalty, luxury, and timeless elegance. In the context of this watch, lapis lazuli elevates the piece into a unique wearable treasure that combines nature’s beauty with 1980s design audacity.
