Dubbed ‘The Helm’, this wristwatch resembles a ship’s wheel with its distinctive spoked yellow gold case housing a very small movement and a plain silvered dial. The crown is hidden behind the watch as opposed to its usual position at 3 o’clock. The slight change gives the watch great balance and forces the observer’s attention even more on the watch’s avant-garde form.
