What could be more enchanting than watching the cycle of the moon on the dial of a watch with phases? New moon, first-quarter, full moon, last quarter: the cycle is as unchanging and the display is majestic. Most often, it’s the aesthetic value rather than the technical prowess that draws watch enthusiasts to the timepiece. […]

In this frenetic age where it seems that every second and minute of every passing day rules one’s life, there comes a watch that gives the gift of time back into your hands. That’s the philosophy behind Audemars Piguet’s new Millenary Frosted Gold Philosophique — an elegant, single-hand timepiece designed especially for the modern woman who has the courage to move forward at her own pace. [inline_related_article article_id="46195"]

The uniqueness of these watches lie in their most defining feature — a single hour hand that moves with confident grace around the elliptical dial. A closer look reveals the tiny disc in the centre of the dial, upon which the hour hand is mounted. And therein resides its bold conviction to emulate the trend once followed by 17th century watches. The minute and second hands become insignificant in this pursuit of independence, as the timepiece expresses itself in defiance of current timekeeping rules.

The 3140-calibre, automatic movement watch is presented in a very chic, 18-carat pink or white gold case that has a beautifully polished frosted-gold and satin brushing finish. The diamond-dusted effect of the latter is the result of a technique developed by Carolina Bucci, an acclaimed jewellery designer from Florentine. [inline_related_article article_id="94710"]

The dial, which comes in two colours, blue and brown, has an equally interesting texture. Its uneven dimpled pattern presents a vivid backdrop to the smoothness of the pink or white gold hand. The blue and brown alligator straps, with large square motifs, complement the watches in an effectively understated style.

The transparent caseback of the Millenary Frosted Gold Philosophique is no less eye catching, as it reveals the inner workings of its oscillating movement, alongside the gold and blue engravings of the brand’s crest and logo. [inline-quote author="Jasmine Audemars, chairwoman of the Board of Directors at Audemars Piguet"]"“At Audemars Piguet, we have always charted our own course, following our firm convictions and starting our independent trends, even during times of crisis... we continue today with our new Millenary Philosophique. This watch takes a break from the rushing minutes of our world and invites you to set your own tempo.”"[/inline-quote]
