An awfully cute little watch reminiscent of a Tank Mini, at a fraction of the price. Complete with roman numerals and “chemin de fer” minutes track. Any suggestion of “homage” would be unfair, as after all the “small rectangular watch” has been reworked countless times by countless other brands, and never fails to delight. We like that in profile, it’s clearly not a Tank, so it isn’t a blatant copy. What more with those gorgeous blue diamond/kite hands… an exquisite detail that sets this interpretation apart. Paired with the original mesh bracelet, this is just pure class.
