Introduction
A captivating and innovative timepiece that showcases the Vincent Calabrese's mastery of horological craftsmanship, the Vincent Calabrese NHC Ottica Mirror is a distinctive timepiece that boasts a wandering jump hour display. Like its name suggests, the Ottica’s blue and silver display features a jump hour window that travels along a minute track that circles the entire dial. As a result, the hour window also acts as the minute hand. The silver dial is elegantly contrasted with blue accents, highlighting the wandering hours window and the minute’s chapter ring. Featuring a 40mm stainless steel case that is completely polished and features unique lugs with a screwed-attachment to the case, the Ottica features a sophisticated and modern appearance while also appearing rather classical.

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 overall near-mint condition. The steel case shows light surface scratches and signs of wear, while the display case back remains clean with well-defined engravings around the edge and light wear visible to the screw heads. The dial and hands remain like new. It is fitted with a blue crocodile strap and a steel deployant clasp showing light surface scratches. Comes complete with box and warranty card.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
A wonderfully stylish watch that displays the time in a still-unusual manner, the Ottica showcases why we should cherish and celebrate independent watchmakers who think outside of the box and create timepieces that are in a league of their own.
