Introduction
Launched in 2023 as a celebration of Miffy, the iconic Dutch cartoon rabbit, the “Miff(any) Blue” was created by Dutch watchmakers De Rijke as part of their driver’s watch collection, and limited to only 100 pieces. Boasting Bauhaus-inspired design language as communicated through its 38mm stainless steel case with small lugs and a thin understated bezel. Featuring a large rotatable dial (to give its wearer the option of wearing it as a normal watch or a driver’s watch), the Miff(an)y Blue boasts a bright shade of turquoise blue, with a large moonphase aperture at 12 o’clock that features Miffy sitting on the moon itself. An interesting watch with a unique design language that ties in a character that we don’t often, if ever, see in watchmaking, the Miff(an)y Blue is an interesting watch that is both wearable and fun.

THE DIAL
Playing on the growing trend for the "Tiffany" shade of blue that we have seen across the industry, the Miff(an)y Blue features the same turquoise colour, with dark accents for its hands and applied indices, and Miffy the rabbit atop the moon in its moonphase indicator.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Featuring a Bauhaus-inspired construction, the Miffy Moonphase's 38mm stainless steel case has an understated profile with its slim bezel and short lugs, but its crow at 1 o'clock reveals its true nature as a driver's watch, with its dial being fully rotatable within the case.

Condition
The watch is in overall near-mint condition. The stainless steel case shows light signs of wear. The dial and hands are like new. It is fitted with a leather strap and steel buckle, both in near-mint condition. The watch comes complete with boxes, warranty card, and accompanying paperwork.
Our Perspective
Combining nods to Dutch pop culture through its celebration of Miffy the rabbit, with intelligent design ideas to create a driver's watch that is also stylish and on-trend for the watchmaking industry, the Miffy Moonphase goes to show just how quick independent watchmakers can be to create unique and fun watches.
