IDEA AND DESIGN FEATURES
A limited edition of 700 pieces, dedicated to the 700th anniversary of the city of Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The design of the watch is based on the legend of the founding of the city of Vilnius and the image of the "Iron Wolf" with metal armor and a mechanical "heart" inside:
– Stainless steel watch case with a displaced black crown and a sturdy bracelet with “rivets” and a sturdy buckle with a double lock, made in the style of medieval armor
– The clock face with wolf fang-shaped hands shows the open heart of the Wolf in the center and the outline of the Gediminas Castle Tower at 6H.
– In the darkness near the tower that the Wolf has been defending for the past 7 centuries, a glowing image of the Iron Wolf appears on the glass.
– On the glass back of the case there is a print "Vilnius 700th Anniversary".
– Green interior trim with oak leaf pattern in an oak wooden watch box made according to Lithuanian traditions.
LEGEND
The Iron Wolf is a mythical character from a medieval legend about the founding of Vilnius, the capital of the ancient Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the modern capital of the Republic of Lithuania.
According to legend, Grand Duke Gediminas (c. 1275–1341) was hunting in a sacred forest near the Šventaragis Valley, near the place where the Vilnia River flows into the Neris River. Tired after a successful aurochs hunt, the Grand Duke settled down for the night. He fell asleep and dreamed of a huge Iron Wolf standing on a hill and howling as loudly and strongly as a hundred wolves. When the Duke woke up, he asked the kriv (pagan priest) Lizdeika to interpret the dream.
"So it is destined for the ruler and the state of Lithuania: The Iron Wolf symbolizes the castle and city that you will establish in this land."
"This city will be the capital of the Lithuanian lands and the residence of their rulers, and the glory of their deeds will echo throughout the world," the priest told him.
Therefore, Gediminas, obeying the will of the gods, built the city and named it Vilnius - after a stream on the Vilnia River.
