British speaker imprint Bowers & Wilkins honors one of its most iconic speakers -- the Nautilus with a new Abalone Pearl tonal finish. This year, the speaker celebrates its 30th anniversary and the stunning new palette is meant to commemorate the milestone. The mesmerizing new color retains the same design and sound quality as it resembles a reverse-horn shape.
This structure is meant to decrease unwanted sonic contributions and ensures that sound reproduction is accurate. The Abalone Pearl colorway is symbolic of the audio quality and completes the design with a shimmering pearl finish for an opulent look. Crafting the Nautilus takes an intricate system that requires precision and time. Each shell speaker takes an entire week to create and three days for the final polish.
