Twenty~4 4909/50 Rose Gold

In Context

At 22 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and 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. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

4909/50R-001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a paved dial with a rose gold case.
