Maroon Magpie

“One for sorrow, two for joy; Three for a girl and four for a boy”

In folklore, magpies have a very prominent role all across the world. The popular children’s poem evokes the magpie’s nature as a harbinger of fortune - or misfortune. In the far East, magpies occupy a similar space in art and poetry as icons of luck.

LOKDALE’s tributary timepiece encapsulates the aesthetic of the magpie, with its simple, stark colour scheme and cheeky silver numbering. Perhaps it brings with it a little bit of luck. And, if you ever see a single magpie - well, you’re already wearing the second.
