Description
Dornblueth & Sohn’s 2016 collection presents a streamlined and elegant model for people who appreciate classical watches with hand-finished characteristics.
The smaller 31mm case size is balanced and well-proportioned thanks to its reduced height of only 8.6mm. The beautiful, matted silver dial provides excellent contrast against the black indices, ensuring optimal legibility.
A generous sapphire crystal exhibition case back affords a wonderful view to the in-house manual calibre which is finished in highlights of rose and yellow gold and studded with flamed-blue screws and jewels. This piece is a real triumph of design and proportion from the house of Dornblueth & Sohn and makes a wonderful heirloom piece that will stand the text of time and weather ever-changing trends.
Available in a variety of dial options including Tahitian mother-of-pearl, with and without applied indices and in satinised steel or massive 18ct gold case the options for customisation are wide open. Add a special touch with a handmade leather band in a variety of finishes or styles to really make it your own.
