Vanitas Art – Hourglasses, Skulls, and ImpermanenceVanitas symbolism that reminds us of our mortality was at its height in the paintings of old masters from Flanders or the Netherlands of the 16th and 17th centuries. Hourglasses and skulls are recurring motifs in these paintings. They represent the futility of earthly things and their transitory nature. Carpe Diem ("Size the Day"), which is a warning to us all to make the most of this life, expresses the same idea. Panerai Luminor Base Replica's novel Vanitas uses several Vanitas-like motifs. Its silver and gold dial features the ancient Greek god Chronos. He is shown as a white-bearded,Panerai Luminor Base Replica old man with wings, who represents time in both Greco Roman tradition and Renaissance. Chronos is depicted in ancient mosaics as a man with wings, turning the Zodiac Wheel and indicating the current Zodiac Sign through an aperture at the 3 o'clock. In the photograph we used, the Taurus is the sign shown. Chronos' left hand is firmly gripping a harvesting scissor (he is a sort of ancient Grim Ripper), while his right hand rests upon an hourglass that shows the minute decade via the patented mechanisms.

Mechanical Hourglass Minute IndicationThe dial on the Panerai Luminor Base Replica Carpe Diem clock features a white dial that is off-centered, with a blued steel hour hand and black Roman numerals.IWC Big Pilot Replica The dial is stunning with its numerous engravings in both gold and silver.
