Description

This pared-down, original 18ct white gold watch, with its retrograde date display combined with precise moon phase, makes it very easy to tell the time. Depicting two polished gold moons and a star-studded sky, this poetic complication only needs adjusting every 122 years. Inspired by the designs of the 1950s, the hour markers and hands follow the gentle curve of the dial. The new fresh olive green color strap gives the watch a resolutely contemporary twist.
