In this new series, the Purity of the ArtyA Classic watch case is enhanced by an authentic dial made of a natural Muonionalusta Meteorite discovered in Sweden in 1906, and powered by the ArtyA Aion COSC certified movement.
The name Mete-Ora of those 2 unique pieces, one full black, the other silver, comes from Meteoritis (Mete) and Ora (Time in Italian). The watch features a 44mm diameter case in high grade steel 316 L with or without black DLC treatment. The chronometer certified self-winding movement provides a power reserve up to 52h.
The Muonionalusta meteorite is a meteorite classified as fine octahedrite, which impacted in northern Scandinavia, west of the border between Sweden and Finland, about one million years BCE. The first fragment of the Muonionalusta meteorite was found in 1906 near the village of Kitkiöjärvi. Around forty pieces are known today, some being quite large. Other fragments have been found in a 25-by-15-kilometre (15.5 mi × 9.3 mi) area in the Pajala District of Norrbotten County, approximately 140 kilometres (87 mi) north of the Arctic Circle.
The meteorite was first described in 1910 by Professor A. G. Högbom, who named it after the nearby place Muonionalusta on the Muonio River. It was studied in 1948 by Professor Nils Göran David Malmqvist. The Muonionalusta meteorite is probably the oldest known meteorite. The name Muonionalusta has Finnish roots: it comes from the name of the Muonio River and alusta, meaning “base, foundation, stand, mat, tray”, thus probably “base of the Muonio”.
