“Ancestrale” is a term used to describe a vintage cognac. A cognac that is so refined and blended to perfection that barrels of it are passed from generation to generation.
On a trip to France David Yurman was fortunate enough to see the process by which such a cognac is distilled and blended and the care and attention that is given to a product that can only really be enjoyed decades after it’s been produced. The motto being, “you can’t rush quality”.
And so, inspired by this experience David Yurman began designing a timepiece which he felt would deserve the name of the “Ancestrale” timepiece.
The Ancestrale watch is described as “ultra exclusive” and even on David Yurman’s website it is the only David Yurman watch that has no price next to it which brings to mind the old saying, “if you need to ask the price then you can’t afford it”.
We think it is a really beautiful watch featuring the trademark David Yurman cable design on the side of the case.
We’ve heard that a few varieties of the Ancestrale will be available but get this……in limited edition quantities of as low as 25 of each watch !!!
It’s proving difficult to find a price for this luxury timepiece although we have tried. Of course, that doesn’t mean to say we can afford it but it’s always nice to know
