Irregular yet highly exquisite, the present watch is a collaboration between independent watchmaker Vianney Halter and the German brand Goldpfeil. Well known for his retro-futuristic style, Vianney Halter's works are highly inspired by science fiction, giving the present watch a machine-like influence. The top left aperture governs the jumping hour, the top right aperture features the moon phases, and the centre dial displays the minute and second hands. Rotating the crown in clockwise fashion sets the time, and rotating it anti-clockwise controls the moon phases. Fascinating and inspirational, the present watch displays asymmetrical elegance through its smartly proportioned geometric design.
