It’s a cool piece
May 10, 2019,09:07 AM
I find the Au pieces really interesting. They where an experiment that, although they had to abandon it in the end, was pushing the boundries of what had previously been done in watchmaking. I think it adds a coolness factor and a conceptual quality to the watch. A watch with historical importance. Full Au movement, case and band. - and with Rubber Bumbers! I was talking to Brigitte Makhzani about this one. She told me that when they had the first prototype fInished, everyone was slightly shocked and the team had a lot of doubt- it felt as light as a swatch watch- what would people think??!!
I wonder how it will be seen, down the line. I think it’s a piece that will get a lot more attention. In my eyes- super interesting and attractive.
Best

it is a true DREAM on the wrist, one of the most comfortable impossibly light pieces I have worn on bracelet. Congrats on having this unique beauty
Hi. Have considered this piece

But was worried that it is too soft and easy to damage. What is your experience? Would you go with Alu again or go titanium?
I have both in different references

and feel comfortable with each. I guess it depends on how hard you are on your watches because I would imagine that the aluminum is more vulnerable. I have not had any issues but in fairness I will often wear a steel watch in outdoor activities. Overall I...
