Description

Matching the mesmerizing dial design is its equally ingenious jumping hour display. Powered by a Unitas 6497 movement finely finished in C\xf4tes de Genve, a rotating disc, framed by the short end of the 3-dimensional minute hand, is a jumping hour complication. Highly stylized, the broad minute hand comes finished with a skeletonized outline that resembles a space shuttle hurtling across the universe.\xa0 A breathtakingly sculptural masterpiece, the SP-1 Mecanique mimics the profile of a spacecrafts cockpit. Its 45mm stainless steel case with elongated lugs is capped by a domed sapphire crystal to lend the watch a multi-dimensional look. The avant garde case design then is topped with a giant crown at \u201812that is guaranteed to send fans of whimsical horological excursions over the moon.
