What We Fancy

First thing I think of when viewing this watch in person is “depth”. The sapphire crystal is cut and creates a visual aspect that is certainly abnormal. The large “UFO” style case is split into two parts, the top portion being tungsten steel and the bottom normal steel. A very unique watch that is certain to create conversation.
