"The highlight of this week's launches is the poetically named Midnight Heure d'ici & Heure d'ailleurs, a great example of both the maison's mastery of arts et métiers and its propensity for rather ingenious-romantic even-ways to tell time."
"Crafted in rose gold, the 38mm watch displays double jumping hours on a smoky, coffee-brown guilloche enamel dial, with local hours visible through a guichet at 11 and away time through another at 5."
"Retrograde minutes lie in between, with the hand jumping back to zero instantaneously with the flip of the two hour windows. The automatic movement features a 65-hour power reserve."
