Hindi Numerals
Have you ever wondered what the numeral system we use freely throughout the day is called? (Ex: 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.) A common answer is "English" - but that completely strips our numbers of its rich history. It is actually called the Hindu-Arabic Numeral system. Based off the ideals of the Hindi and the Arabic Numeral system.
This rich history of our numeral system is often forgotten, and we intend to bring it to light. VIANI celebrates the rich legacy of our numbers, bringing a piece of history and culture to your wrist with every time piece.
Design
The VIANI SONA Collection is Swiss-Made and assembled. Encased in a brilliant 18k Gold EP finish and sporting a sleek, curved sapphire crystal with SwissCoat anti-reflective coating for enhanced clarity.
The design proudly showcases a 0 at the 12 o'clock position, a subtle yet meaningful nod to the history of the Hindi numeral system, honoring its profound impact on the world’s understanding of time.
At just 6mm thin, the SONA wears slim and unisex, available in either a crocodile-embossed leather strap or an 18k Gold EP bracelet.
Limited Edition
With only 35 pieces made per model, each watch is individually numbered and engraved on the back casing. Once they’re gone, they’re gone—no restocks will be made.
