Introducing: A Watch That's a Feast for the Eyes and the Wrist
Get ready to indulge in a timepiece that's as luxurious as it is whimsical. Studio Underd0g and Massena LAB have joined forces to create a chronograph that's as much a celebration of taste as it is a testament to craftsmanship. Prepare to be dazzled by the '03Series Champagne & Caviar', a watch that's as much about the finer things in life as it is about telling time.
A Culinary Chronograph
Imagine a watch that's as much about the excesses of fine dining as it is about precision timekeeping. The 'Champagne & Caviar' model is a testament to the idea that watches can be both functional and fantastically luxurious. With a dial inspired by the opulence of Champagne and caviar, this watch is a feast for the eyes.
The two-layer dial is a masterpiece of design. The base layer features a radially brushed metallic sunray finish, housing the tachymeter scale and minutes track. But the real showstopper is the raised top dial, finished in a coarsely textured, lightly fumé finish that evokes the golden tones of a glass of Champagne. The running seconds hand sits in a snailed subdial at 9 o'clock, while the thirty-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock is a three-dimensional masterpiece, resembling a tin of caviar with glossy lacquer beads that mimic the slimy salinity of sturgeon roe.
One subtle detail worth noting is the white-tipped seconds hand, which resembles a bottle of Champagne at its base. It's a small touch, but it drives home the theme beautifully.
A Watch with a Twist
Powering this timepiece is a customized version of the Sellita SW510M, a movement previously seen only in Studio Underd0g's collaboration with H. Moser & Cie's Project Passion. This mono pusher movement boasts 63 hours of power reserve and is rated at ±5 seconds a day, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
The 'Champagne & Caviar' watch is priced at $2,200, limited to 200 pieces, and will be available on Studio Underd0g's website from 3 pm GMT on November 11th. All 200 pieces are expected to be delivered in November.
A Watch for the Adventurous
This collaboration is a bold move, and it's not for everyone. But for those who appreciate the fusion of luxury and whimsy, it's a masterpiece. The 'Champagne & Caviar' watch is a testament to the idea that watches can be both functional and fantastically luxurious, and it's sure to spark conversations and turn heads.
