Gallery Introduces Equestrian Watch Line

· From pages 19 of the print edition

Live An Artful Life® in The Plains, VA has introduced a new line of equestrian inspired watches created by the Swiss company Catena. In a classic horseshoe design, these watches embody the equestrian lifestyle.

Catena, makers of fine timepieces since 1947, combines Swiss craftsmanship and artistry with the latest technology to design a collection of truly unique equestrian timepieces. The company uses the best quality stainless steel materials and 18K gold plating for the duo tone cases to create the unique horseshoe model. The watches are available in many different dial finishes including a range of colored Mother of Pearl and silver guilloché. Options also include diamonds starting with a diamond in each of the indentations where a nail would be set on a horseshoe. In keeping with the Swiss quality each timepiece has a scratch resistant sapphire crystal.

Catena actively supports equestrian competitions and events by awarding timepieces to most valuable players and high performance riders. Their generosity was seen this year at the Capital Care Annual Polo Cup at Great Meadow where the company provided 5 horseshoe timepieces to the winning team. The company also presented the Catena Leading Grand Prix Rider Award at the HITS Desert Circuit in March of this year.
