The Guardianship

The 1505 Watch is not only the world’s first wearable timepiece – it is a universal treasure, a heritage of humanity. Its survival for more than 520 years is a miracle of history, and its future depends on how we choose to protect and honour it today.

Beyond Ownership

As current owners, we do not see ourselves as mere custodians. We embrace the role of Guardians — entrusted with safeguarding the integrity, meaning, and mission of this artifact. Guardianship is a responsibility that transcends possession. It demands vision, humility, and commitment.

Preserving an Unlimited Value

The 1505 Watch cannot be measured in monetary terms. Any figure, however high, would reduce its meaning. It’s true value lies in its uniqueness, its symbolism, and the story it carries for all humanity. To speak of “value” is to speak of heritage, responsibility, and timelessness – not price.

A Path Toward World Heritage

Our mission is clear: step by step, we will ensure that the 1505 Watch is recognized as what it truly is – a World Cultural Heritage. Every investigation, every scientific analysis, every new discovery brings us closer to a complete understanding of this artifact. Only through continuous research and transparency can we honour its legacy and share it with the world.

The Ongoing Mission of Guardianship

Guardianship means to never stop. It means to commit ourselves, and those who come after us, to:

Continue scientific investigations with leading experts from around the globe. Document and publish every finding, ensuring that nothing remains hidden, nor will be forgotten. Carry the story of the 1505 Watch into the world, so its meaning is preserved for future generations.

The Guardianship is not about ownership. It is about service – service to history, to humanity, and to time itself. We are determined that in one hundred years, in five hundred years, and beyond, the 1505 Watch will still be here: intact, understood, and radiating its timeless message. We pledge to safeguard the 1505 Watch not as an object, but as a living testimony of humanity’s genius and spirit.
