Founded in Madrid in 1885 by Saturio Esteban Carrera, Carrera y Carrera is one of Spain’s most prestigious fine jewelry houses, known for its sculptural craftsmanship and deeply artistic approach to design. Originally a family of master goldsmiths, the brand gained recognition for its intricate, nature-inspired pieces and figurative motifs, blending mythological symbolism with timeless elegance. By the mid-20th century, under the creative direction of Manuel Carrera, the house had firmly established itself as a global name in high jewelry, with celebrities, royalty, and collectors drawn to its distinctive Spanish style. Over time, Carrera y Carrera expanded its artistic vision beyond jewelry to include a refined line of luxury watches. These timepieces were not merely functional accessories, but expressions of wearable art—infused with the same meticulous attention to form and symbolic detail that defines the brand’s jewelry. Produced in limited numbers, their watches often blend Swiss quartz precision with bold goldsmithing and gemstone setting, appealing to discerning clients seeking both craftsmanship and individuality. This particular piece, from the exclusive Adam & Eve collection, is a striking example of Carrera y Carrera’s fusion of horology and jewelry art. Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the watch features a sleek black dial, believed to be onyx, adorned with three brilliant-cut diamonds set at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The minimalist dial is a quiet contrast to the luxurious warmth of the polished gold case, embodying understated elegance. Powered by a high-precision quartz movement, it combines ease of maintenance with timeless sophistication. The size (approximately 28mm - measured by the extreme part of the human figures) makes it an ideal dress watch for refined, daily wear or evening occasions. Rarely seen on the secondary market, this timepiece represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Spanish design history—where watchmaking meets the soul of high jewelry.
