Our ode
to exploration
From early stargazers to modern explorers, humanity’s fascination with space stems from a drive to understand what lies beyond.
The NORDSØ AVENTURINE collection honors this timeless quest, serving as a reminder of the vast, mysterious expanse above us.
the scandinavian night sky
Rooted in Scandinavian craftsmanship and inspired by the vastness of the night sky, the NORDSØ AVENTURINE collection brings together thoughtful design and a fascination with the cosmos. Each model pays homage to this connection in its own way.
The "Raven" model features a black aventurine dial, representing the darkest reaches of space and capturing the subtle shimmer of starlight across its surface. Complemented by gilt hands, the design provides a striking contrast, adding a touch of refinement and timeless appeal to the overall aesthetic.
"Ad Astra," meaning "To the Stars" in Latin, reflects the ambition to reach beyond what is known. Its deep blue aventurine dial evokes the vastness of space, with hints of blue reminiscent of distant galaxies.
behind aventurine
Aventurine, a material renowned for its shimmering, star-like appearance, has a rich history rooted in Venetian glassmaking traditions. Originating in 17th-century Murano, Italy, artisans discovered that by introducing copper oxide into molten glass under low-oxygen conditions, they could produce a glass embedded with tiny, reflective copper crystals.
This unexpected discovery led to the creation of aventurine glass, named after the Italian word "avventura," meaning "by chance".
A unique reflection
of the cosmos
No two aventurine dials are exactly alike - a result of the natural variations in the glassmaking process.
