Santorini - Classic Aegean

d.freemont introduces the “Santorini” – a tribute to the art and literary culture fostered by the Greeks in the Hellenistic Age.  A violent volcano 50 miles across tore a caldron into the Mediterranean that scattered islands about the Aegean.  The most revered of these islands is “Santorini” which is known for its spectacular sunsets.  Santorini is the archetypical example of the beauty of this wondrous place – certainly the inspiration for the classic simplicity that has endured the ages.  d.freemont has taken the cue from this heritage by producing its newest timepiece dedicated to the classics....

“The Santorini Old Testament Connection”
Santorini Island was formed by a violent volcanic event – this event happened about the time of the great plagues in Egypt.  The Old Testament account of the many plagues leading up to the Exodus of the Jews – across the opening in the Red Sea is speculated by some archeologist to explain these events.  More information about this study is available on the History Channel.

Customer Comments:
"My Santorini watch arrived and is even more beautiful in person. I have already gotten numerous comments about it. Thank you very much." AG

"When I got home this evening the new Santorini watch was in my mail box. It is more beautiful in person than what the adverts depict it; I love the way the case changes from shades of gold and yellow to purple. I also love the type of hands that you placed on the watch, it makes reading the minutes easier and gives the watch a very classic look. The watch is beautiful and I could not be more pleased with it." RB

"I received my Santorini yesterday and I must admit, I’m impressed. I didn’t know if I would like the heat treated case but I absolutely love it! Great dial also. Almost all of my automatics and mechanicals are ETA’s but this is the first Unitas that I have. I like it too. I know that you pay great attention to detail as addressed in your personal letter by thanking me for my service. I take care of all the HVAC controls at Beale AFB but I am an old Viet Nam vet. As a customer, I really appreciate the personal touch . All the paperwork, including the computer printout was great! I don’t buy watches to impress people. Most of the people I hang out with wouldn’t know a Rolex from a Timex. I buy watches because I like them. All my pals ask me why I buy so many…32 at this point…watches and I tell them 'Time is the only thing we have a finite amount of. You might as well be able to tell it accurately and with style.' You can use that if you want as well as any part of this e-mail. I like you, your wife and your watches. I’m proud to own a d freemont!"  DD

"I received my Santorini today and it is all I expected it would be and much more. I first saw photos of the watch in your advertisements and on your web site. As nice as the photos are, they do not do justice to the subtle beauty of this timepiece. I think any watch lover would be able to tell, as I did, just how expertly crafted the Santorini is from the first wind of the crown. In my view, the Santorini defines the difference between a store bought, over-hyped, mass-produced wrist watch and work of horological art. I know that any time I walk into a room wearing my Santorini, no one else will have a finer watch than mine.  Thanks again for your help and a beautiful timepiece that I absolutely love. I look forward to my next purchase from you." TG
