Hence the actual use which is in fact the oldest one. It was later changed to a subtractive form (IV) - or common form - to avoid any confusion between Louis XIII and Louis XIIII coins (Louis XIV being easily distinguishable from Louis XIII).</span></p> <p><span>Reasons why IIII remained in use in the watchmaking industry: Balances VIII and constitues tree groups of 4 numbers: </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>·<span>   </span></span></span><span>Using I => I, II, III, IIII</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>·<span>   </span></span></span><span>Using V => V, VI, VII, VIII</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>·<span>   </span></span></span><span>Using X => IX, X, XI, XII</span></p> <p><br/><span>On a religious side, the division reminds of the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>· Ensures a balance of 14 numbers on each side of the 12-6 o’clock axis. On a traditional dial, this axis starts between the X and the II of number XII and ends between the V and the I of number VI, thus gathering together 14 numbers in delimited zones. </span></p>http://blog.raymond-weil.com/post/43146927709http://blog.raymond-weil.com/post/43146927709Fri, 15 Feb 2013 09:01:07 -0500IIIIIVRAYMOND WEIL watchesRoman number 4xl<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/91bc79ec40a04a16a9f927532263ce03/tumblr_mi258wlNID1qa5ip2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>RAYMOND WEIL was glad to participate to the Yuri Bashmet Music Festival, which is one of the world’s largest cultural forum, that brings together the best contemporary musicians.</span></p> <p><span>The festival promotes classic art, and is designed to support young talents and cutural innovations.
