Art Deco Metropolis. The photos don’t really do it justice. The highly faceted and sculpted rose gold center actually sparkles like diamonds. Against the blue minute track it’s beautiful. Love the Art Deco Roaring Twenties font for the numbers. On the back Vianney added a decoration to the rotor which did not appear on the prototype. I ordered the watch a year and half ago when it was first shown and this is just the second one he has produced. He will make a maximum of three to five pieces of this model a year. I was able to see it in the flesh for the first time at W&W this year and was very very pleased. Vianney is a very kind and smart and funny man.

















Hope you enjoy these photos.
