Dancing with time

Figure skating -is a bridge between sport and art.

M. Khvostov, "Figure Skating"

In Russia they love figure skating very much and are ill for our skaters at international competitions with special trepidation. Perhaps this is the most patriotic sport! In 2016 GK "NIKA" became the official partner of the Federation of figure skating. In honor of this significant event, the master of the brand NIKA Exclusive created a real masterpiece of jewelry art - a gold watch "Time of Champions" with a figurative mechanism associated with ornamental creativity on ice.

In figure skating, as in a good watch, the technical and aesthetic aspects are equally important. In this sport, there is little tracing of the given figure - It is necessary that the figure skater's movements are free,elegant, so that the complexity of the figure is not felt, because the athletic the athlete keeps, the higher his work is judged. So in the clock: the lighter and more airy the naked "lacy" mechanism looks, the more appreciated the work of the master. Jewelry watches "Time of Champions" - the best confirmation of this. A massive gold case and sapphire crystal on both sides reliably protect the mechanism, masterly skeletonized by the masters of the brand NIKA Exclusive. Just like a talented skater, a watch must have an unbreakable sense of rhythm and the accuracy of each step. Therefore, when creating an exclusive series "Time of Champions" masters NIKI preferred the Swiss caliber ETA 6498 with manual winding.

On the dial there is a pair of skaters whoThey glide along the ice and turn their gaze to the impromptu public, greeting them with enthusiastic exclamations. Engraving is made by hand, so it can be considered even the smallest details, such as expressions of the faces of athletes and wrinkles on their costumes. If you look closely, then in these figure skaters you can see the famous Klimov-Ponomarenko couple. They became Soviet champions in ice dancing at the Olympics in Yugoslavia in 1984 and then consolidated their title even more firmly, remaining on the pedestal at the two subsequent Games in Canada and France (1988 and 1992). Marina Klimova and Sergei Ponomarenko went thorny, but, of course, a beautiful glorious path from bronze to gold, becoming holders of a complete set of coveted medals. During their performances, our skaters forced the huge country to experience the full range of emotions with a sinking heart: trembling, sadness, excitement, amazement, ecstasy, joy, euphoria ... Such moments unite people: for our athletes at international competitions we feel our unity, and we cry with happiness, being filled with pride for our country.

Clock "Time of Champions" - this is more than an accessory. They symbolize the spirit of patriotism and all the most beautiful things that a person has created, because figure skating is a fusion of sport and art. For all who remember the merits of our figure skaters in the world sports arena, and those who are sure that the best is yet to come, for motivated athletes and their inimitable trainers, for romantics and realists ... Watch "Time of Champions" from NIKA Exclusive created specifically for you!
