The first thing most people react to is the dial. Mother-of-pearl never repeats itself. Some pieces lean cooler, some warmer; some reflect light with a soft cloud-like sheen, others show sharper waves depending on how the surface was cut. When we select each dial, we look for that balance—something elegant without looking artificial, something that feels natural when you glance at it during a long day. The diamonds are small, but they sit in well-cut settings, and under real light they catch enough sparkle to make the watch feel alive without drifting into excess.

The fluted bezel is another part I personally enjoy working on. When the machining hits the metal at just the right angle, the reflections run across the surface like ripples. It’s a detail you only appreciate once the watch is assembled and you tilt it in your hand. Some customers tell us this is the moment they decide—when the bezel catches sunlight and the bracelet drapes naturally, that’s when it becomes more than a design and starts feeling like “their” watch.

Inside, we keep things straightforward and dependable. The movement is assembled with stability in mind rather than chasing numbers we can’t consistently guarantee. What matters to us is that, months later, when you pick it up from a drawer or wear it through a busy week, it still behaves the way a daily piece should. Smooth winding, consistent motion, nothing dramatic. I’ve always believed that a good watch earns trust not on the first day, but after the hundredth.

What I personally appreciate about this build is how adaptable it feels. You can dress it up for formal days or let it sit quietly with everyday clothes. The Jubilee-style bracelet hugs the wrist more comfortably than most people expect the first time they try it. And because the design leans elegant rather than loud, it suits people who enjoy a refined look without wanting constant attention or questions from others.

If you’ve been exploring different models and aren’t sure where to start, pieces like this often end up being the most forgiving and enjoyable. They’re timeless, they don’t rely on hype, and they carry themselves with a kind of effortless balance. From my side of the workshop table, this is the kind of watch I’m always proud to see completed—because I know it will quietly fit into someone’s life from the moment they put it on.
