The dial of the Bukhara timepiece is derived from an interior dome of the central mosque complex of the city of Bukhara - the fabled Po-i-Kaylan built in 1514.

The tan and brown crisscrossing pattern evokes the trodden earthen pathways of the Silk Roads which defined the city of Bukhara for centuries. A city that was a meeting point for scholars, travelers, merchants and artisans. 

Darkened at the edges - the appearance of the dial evokes standing at the center of a dome and looking upward. Evoking the sense of awe and peace from standing within the Maasjid itself.

The clear display caseback is marked with the iconic Kalyan Minaret originally built in 1127 by emperor Mohammad Arslan Khan. The tower was famously spared by Mongol invaders and remains as testament to the strength and resilience of the city.

The display caseback reveals a custom engraved blue rotor - colored in tribute to the Zerafshan River - which made the fertility of this oasis city possible.
