Empowering Grace

Marquise Magazine Description:

“M” is perfectly balanced. Of all the alphabets it’s the paragon of symmetry. In fact, scientific research shows that when considering a mate, people’s assessment of physical beauty is mostly about symmetry, the more symmetrical, the more appealing- the quintessence of beauty and classicism.

“M” is also representative of Mille or one thousand. Specifically, a Millenary relates to the next one thousand years. For those of you intellectuals, The Millenary is not related to any quasi-religious groups. If anything, we are devoted templars of this new age of opulence and elegance.

With the technological advances of the printing press and now the Internet, suddenly, Millenarists have become staunch defenders of true luxury- The art behind each handicraft, age old skills and traditions, passed down through the generations. The Rising Tastelessness of the Nouveau Riche best encapsulates our quandary and life’s mission, the new rich have been gauging value based on price, our’s is a philosophy that gauges value based on quality.

Not coincidentally, you, the millenarian is a man (or woman) concerned with the passage of time and there has never been a better time to be- here, at the apex of watchmaking. Haute horlogerie has never been more exciting- material advancements coupled with heritage watchmaking techniques.

Here’s to the next one thousand years.
