TIMING MACHINE READOUT

This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.

Condition

Watch is in near-mint condition, showing light signs of use. A few small hairlines are visible along the polished bezel. Watch is accompanied by the original double box as well as a re-issued certificate that was supplied after the original was lost.

Our Perspective

With such an impressive level of detail and artisanal craftsmanship found within a seemingly simple design, it is easy to see why production has had to be capped at only 10 pieces a year.
