PERSEPOLIS
THE ORBITAL ICON · SINCE 2007
Introduced in 2007, Persepolis is one of Ritmo Mundo's most distinctive original designs. Inspired by the monumental architecture and enduring legacy of ancient Persepolis, the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire, the collection reimagines traditional watch construction through Ritmo Mundo's signature orbital case architecture.
INSPIRED BY AN EMPIRE
Persepolis takes its name from the ancient ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, whose remains date to approximately 515 BC and were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Its history, architecture and legacy inspired a watch designed to possess an equally unmistakable identity.
RITMO MUNDO ORBITAL ARCHITECTURE
The imposing 52.5 mm orbital case breaks from conventional watch design by positioning its time and date displays off-center within a sculptural, three-dimensional structure. The unconventional arrangement exposes more of the mechanical architecture and gives Persepolis its instantly recognizable profile.
TWO MOVEMENTS · TWO TIME ZONES
Persepolis Automatique is powered by two Swiss SW200 automatic movements, independently displaying two time zones and two dates. The dual see-through construction reveals the mechanics within, transforming the movement itself into an integral part of the design.
AN EVOLVING RITMO MUNDO ORIGINAL
Later interpretations introduced new case materials, finishes and dial treatments, including editions inspired by kings who ruled during the history of Persepolis. Across its variations, the orbital architecture remains the defining signature of a Ritmo Mundo original first created in 2007.
