Ernest Borel has designed a new and essential timepiece in homage to the founder of the house, a true work of watchmaking art released in a limited edition, with 888 pieces available worldwide. An allusion to Chinese culture, the figure "8" is associated with happiness, wealth and eternity.
The timepiece comes in a rose gold PVD plated case, measuring 44mm in diameter and featuring a silvered dial set with 12 diamonds. It houses a Swiss automatic movement with complication enclosing the hour, minute, second, date, day and power reserve (42 hours) functions. Beating at 28,800 vph, it is visible through the sapphire case back.
The choice of a strap in brown alligator and folding clasp adds true elegance to this limited edition.
Water-resistant to 50 metres, this commemorative watch is a synthesis between past and present and will delight lovers of beautiful objects, sensitive to the heritage and traditional values of Swiss watchmaking.
