The musical theme of the timepiece is continued on the face of the watch. The crisp black dial provides a smooth backdrop for the hour indexes, which are bars from the song My Funny Valentine. The 12 o’clock position features a little clef, while the double bar line at 8 o’clock represents the first eight bars of the song, which have to be repeated.
The black leather strap with croco imprint and a stainless steel folding clasp ensure comfort for the wearer.
The watch is presented in a unique box with a mechanically driven metronome.
