  • Catalogue Essay

    The Carousel, crafted by Aniceto Jiménez Pita—a self-taught independent watchmaker and AHCI member since 2006—is one of eight models that Pita has introduced for his namesake brand. The Carousel embodies innovative horology and hand-craftsmanship, with its movement uniquely rotating on its axis via ball bearings, completing one revolution every 12 hours. The inverted design of the movement reveals the skeletonized winding rotor on the dial side, which is shaped like a driver’s wheel. In addition, Pita’s own patented Time-Setting Mechanism eliminates the crown, allowing for adjustments by rotating the case back and greater comfort.

    With less than 15 pieces made a year, the present Pita Carousel features a pink gold case with a matte black dial. It is offered in pristine condition with all original accessories.
