Looks like another wonderful souscription piece with a few fun differences. More open main plate, which is now made in traditional German silver... with an eye on the long-term patina. My wife likes it too!

On the IG site of horomariobro is an interesting thread on this backside. The new iteration like this seem to have fallen victim to some cost cuttingโฆ
