The Thrill of Love
A spider patiently waits to capture a bee, while the bee flits around the spider, sometimes drawing near, sometimes teasing. This elegant complication watch expresses the dance of a couple engaged in a romantic pursuit, with two insects tracing complex, off-center orbits around the dial.
The spider's position indicates the hour, and the bee's position indicates the minute. It is a masterpiece where the romantic vision of a high jeweler meets advanced complication watchmaking.
