Freelancer Cello Music Special Edition
The first Music Special Edition timepiece is a 45mm freelancer equipped with a mechanical movement with chronograph, day and date complications and a 46 hour power reserve. Its titanium case hosts a grey dial with indexes and sits on a genuine leather strap.
This timepiece offers exclusive design features: 4 strings of a cello wrapped around the dial and a red bow-shaped chronograph hand. The day and date indicators are shaped like the bridge on which rest the strings of the instrument. A scroll-like decoration wraps around the seconds sub dial.
This freelancer presents an exhibition case-back featuring the signature of cello duet 2Cellos.
2Cellos is a virtuoso Croatian cello duo composed of Luka Šulic and Stjepan Hauser. They first attracted attention when they posted a cover of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal to YouTube.
This Cello Music Special Edition freelancer will benefit 2Cellos’ very own charity that aims at providing easy access to musical instruments and at developing the practice of music.
Maestro Guitar Music Special Edition
This watch from the maestro collection consists of a 39.5mm stainless steel case that houses the automatic movement RW4200 with a 38 hour power reserve. The details of the movements are visible through an aperture in the dial highlighted with rose gold plating. An intricate design that recalls the rosette of a guitar wraps around the inner dial while a rose gold plated plectrum points at the 6 o'clock position and seems ready to strike the string motif that circles the dial.
Musician Miloš Karadaglic, award-winning classical guitarist and exclusive Deutsche Grammophon recording artist, is widely regarded as the leading talent in classical Spanish guitar.
This Guitar Music Special Edition timepiece was designed to raise awareness and much needed funds for his preferred charity, Mladost Orphanage in Montenegro.
