The black specks in this one of a kind watch are not just for design - they are flecks of real dried blood which were dripped on the dial to commemorate the blood spilt during the Russian revolution in 1917, when the Communist uprising led to an overthrow of the Russian imperial family. Prince Rostislav Romanov, a descendant of the Tsars, spilled his own blood on the dial of this watch to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the revolution.
