"Long Island" 20th anniversary model
The Long Island watch features a vertically elongated design inspired by the bridge that wealthy Manhattanites in the 1920s used to cross to reach Long Island for weekend getaways. The straight lines of the design blend beautifully with the curved shape of the case from the side, creating an elegant, curvaceous aesthetic that symbolizes the artistic style of Art Deco, which flourished in the early 20th century. The watch was developed with a focus on comfort.
Byzantine numerals are relief-engraved in three dimensions
Quartz movement. Stainless steel x 18KPG case (32.5mm x 23mm). 1,080,000 yen (excluding tax).
The distinctive feature of the "relief processing" is the brilliance of the indexes, which are the same color as the watch case material. The shadows created by the light permeate every corner of the dial, vividly emphasizing its sparkle.
