Its story

In the Dove, a small celestial bird full of symbolism, shines a white star of crisp light. Its glow began its journey 300 years ago, when Bach was composing his weekly cantatas in Leipzig and the European Enlightenment was publishing its first treatises of reasoned optimism. Hotter than the Sun and pure white in tone, it recalls fresh snow at dawn, still without shadows.
