The dial depicts a Cuban guitarist plucking his strings, crafted with incredible precision. To capture the details, artisans used tiny, irregular perforations to form the texture of the musician’s clothing, accented with gold leaf fragments that shimmer beautifully under the light.
The fine black lines outlining the guitarist’s figure are thinner than a strand of hair, with contrasting tones and relief effects achieved through the natural colors and grains of different woods.
Every piece of wood was meticulously selected for its specific pattern and texture — the hat is made from Koto Maille wood with woven grain, the face and hands are crafted from delicate pearwood, and the shirt from burl walnut, whose natural wrinkles reproduce the look of fabric folds.
The watch features a 42mm platinum case and houses the Caliber PF510 with a 30-second tourbillon and dual barrels, offering an impressive seven-day power reserve.
With a price of $300,000, this is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.
