Hello Purists, I had the pleasure to try and manipulate a really uncommon watch. The Gerald Charles Automatic A-Evolution Carré in Rose Gold. This watch has some of it's dial in MOP. What do you think about this watch? Do you know what caliber it's using ...  

(almost) of the hour. Are they off centered so you can see them at the hour? May just be an optical illusion. Very nice watch, really like the shape. Thanks for sharing

past 1.... I would assume approaching 2...? This piece has my interest now and thanks for posting..

I found it...And thanks for adding another piece to my wish list Now to find my friendly neighborhood watch pusher...

a beautyful instrument indeed thx for the pictures s

Hello Purists, Today I got the confirmation from the Gerald Charles that this sliding hour watch uses a ETA 2892 base. As most of you said previously. Kind Rergards, TD
