ELGIN Clous de Paris, 1970s

— Geometry in gold —

A dial worked in a geometric pyramid pattern, with matching decoration along the case sides. Each change of light changes the expression of the watch. The aesthetic of the 1970s, concentrated into a small object.

Offered in excellent condition with its period box and warranty papers — accessories that are rarely still together.

— A beat that has kept going —

Behind the case back is a robust hand-wound calibre. The steady, rhythmic movement of the hands is a particular kind of reassurance to wear.

— Classical, and complete —

The original box and warranty documents are included, which makes this piece as interesting to a collector as it is to wear.
