Introducing the new Sarpaneva Supernova (Prototype)
This new model from Sarpaneva is nicely sized at 40mm. A watch designed to make a statement about the owner. The watch will feature a moonphase (at the apertures at 12 o'clock). A subsecond dial at 8 o clock and a date window at 4 o clock. If this watch i...
