The shape of the dial, for instance, resembles the surface of a pond, mid-splash. However, what’s perhaps more interesting is how it’s constructed. The base case is titanium, while the crystal is sapphire.
But here’s where it gets really wild: that undulating bezel is also crafted from solid sapphire. Furthermore, encapsulated within that case is a skeletonized dial which can be peered straight through to the caseback. And that’s important, because the watch’s movement is also significant.
Art of fusion
Visible behind the skeletonized dial and through the exhibition caseback, you can see the Swiss-made, 29-jewel Meca-10 movement. This is a new, smaller take on a manual movement, and this watch marks its very first appearance.
But novelty alone is not the only thing special about this movement. It also features a digital power reserve display driven by a “crémaillère” rack system, rare for a mechanical watch. The result is an elegant mechanism that’s also highly intuitive.
