  "account": "GURUGRAM, November 2026 - Design-focused watchmaker ROTORIS has unveiled the newest addition to its Manifesta collection, a range of four watches each featuring a dial crafted from natural stone or marine shell. The updated line-up now includes a 36 mm case size in addition to the previously available 40 mm. To set each dial apart, ROTORIS uses precision-cut natural stones and shells, each exhibiting unique colors, inclusions, and light reflections due to their organic origins.\n\nFour distinct dial materials comprise the Manifesta collection: Lapis Lazuli, Imperial Jade, White Mother-of-Pearl, and Pietersite. Prerna Gupta, co-founder of ROTORIS, explains that the collection's uniqueness arises from the natural variations found in these materials. \"Each slice of stone carries its own veins, its own colour, its own light, so every piece is singular before we ever number it. When you choose a Manifesta, you are choosing a dial that exists once,\" she says.\n\nThe four variants in the collection are produced annually, with each piece individually numbered. The Lapis Lazuli dial, recognized for its intense ultramarine blue, showcases golden pyrite crystals on the 40 mm version and a pavé diamond bezel on the 36 mm iteration. Imperial Jade incorporates a rich green hue, while White Mother-of-Pearl offers an iridescent surface that shifts in appearance with changing light. Finally, Pietersite features swirling bands and contrasting streaks, creating a shifting pattern on both the 40 mm and 36 mm versions, with 18K solid rose-gold hour markers. Each timepiece is housed in a Japanese Miyota 82S0 automatic movement and accented with Italian leather straps in ostrich, alligator, or crocodile patterns.",
