In Context

At 26 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. At 9.3 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

2718410 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver guilloche dial with a stainless steel case.

Mechanical manually-wound movement, 180 parts, 21,600 vibrations per hour, 45-hour power-reserve. Indications front: hour, minute, small seconds; Indications back: hour, minute, second time zone, 24-hour day/night indicator.
