Sometimes progress is not that obvious. Especially in the world of watches details can make all the difference. Subtle changes have been part of the industry since its conception, and often fuel a constant evolution of excellence.

However, processing platinum, as well as finishing it, requires special craftsmanship, because it is very dense, malleable and ductile. With the few watches made the investment in this cannot be spread out over so many pieces.

When you have something to celebrate, you better do it right!
