Heures Créatives Romantique White Gold - Diamond / Black MOP

In Context

At 26.5 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. The 7.4 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. 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. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 18,000 vph the seconds hand advances 5 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

37640/000G-B659 is one of 3 executions of the 37640/000G base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a black dial and a white gold case.
