Catalogue Essay
Made in a limited edtion of 25 pieces for the Asian market, the present wristwatch is blessed with an exquisite polychrome cloisonné enamel dial representing a view of HK harbor. The geometric, multicolored scene features a boat in the foreground, the Hong Kong skyline behind it (with the iconic Bank of China tower) and the green Peak in the background: the perfect scene for the depth and vibrancy of the cloisonné enamel to, literally, shine through.
