The model in detail

The Series A: Romanesque was reported on October 15. Temporal Works developed it with designer Lee Yuen-Rapati, whose Colonnade numerals use vertical and horizontal lines. A silver-white upper layer sits apart from a glossy blue base, giving the numerals physical depth.

The 37 × 10 mm steel case houses a hand-wound Sellita SW210-1 b D4 with approximately 42 hours of reserve. The edition comprises 50 pieces at $2,500 each. The Armoury lists November shipping; availability of an individual example needs separate checking.
