TIME TO BE BOLD

This is exactly what the brand offers with a sexy, glam-rock take on its definitive cuff watch-the Classics Manchette. This graceful bracelet is embossed with a square Clou de Paris pattern that's echoed on the dial (also square). With a stylish nod to nostalgia, the Manchette reprises one of the most defining accessories of the Eighties. And this cuff watch does precisely that, embodying a carefree, unfettered watchmaking style. Forget complications and exclusiveness, here, a lighthearted, whimsical style reigns. Make no mistake, this is an accessory through and through; it isn't about tradition, it's about bucking the trend. The Manchette returns to the collection under the name Classics Manchette as a bracelet with seven flexible, flowing links that just happens to tell the time. With a comeback in mineral dials, the Classics Manchette sports the marbled green of malachite, traversed by a variety of different shades. Don't they say, envy spells green?
