Unknown to me until now, I have to say it is outstanding. The gold watch with white dial is classic but doesn't speak to me like the openworked piece. Thanks for posting. M4

The Duality has always intrigued me most. On the front it’s nothing much but the back is of course. I always loved this tension and contrast.
