HOMAGE TO BRAM STOKER

The distinctive design of this edition’s cap and barrel is inspired by the structure of a bat’s wings, folded in sleep. Crafted from Ag 925 sterling silver with a special lacquer finish, it pays tribute to Dracula’s legendary ability to transform into a bat in a moment of darkness. The cone’s structure is modelled on the grand Corinthian columns of London’s Lyceum Theatre, whose world helped to inspire several of the novel’s enigmatic characters.

Stoker’s fascination with science-based medicine intertwines with his familial heritage in the Limited Edition 93. The design draws inspiration from the Pravaz syringe, represented in the windowed barrel and the engraved rings of the cap and cone. The instrument’s mechanical elements and cone are adorned with Celtic knot patterns created by Stoker’s sister, Matilda, symbolising the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

This edition is rooted in the Arts and Crafts movement of the Victorian era, which celebrated traditional craftsmanship over mass production. The floral design on the cap, forepart, barrel, and cone is rendered in the spirit of the movement, realised in solid Au 750 gold with mother-of-pearl, enamel, diamond, and blue sapphire inlays. A closer look reveals a pattern of garlic and wild rose flowers, long used to ward off vampires.
