RGM “Tiger in Stone” Stone Marquetry (Mosaic)

The RGM Model 25 watches have an American-made case inspired by our larger Pennsylvania Series watches. The case has ribbed sides, a beautifully contoured bezel, and is 40mm in diameter with curved-down lugs. The Model 25 fits most wrists very comfortably. The case was designed to highlight the dial with its large dial opening.

The Art -

The Tiger on the dial is composed of small pieces of different colored stones. Working with stone requires great skill as each stone has its own specific hardness; the marquetry craftsmen must have just the right touch. For all their beauty, hard stones are extremely fragile and difficult to handle. Each individual piece must be cut thin, shaped, and polished.

The reward for this demanding work is a miniature puzzle; each cut piece will have its own place in the tiny mosaic creating a beautiful piece of art made of stone.

Very few watchmakers offer this rare craft to their clients.
