Pierre Laurent presents this exquisite mechanical watch as a reminder of the mechanics of watches prior to the invention of the quartz movement system.
Part of the Pierre Laurent Mechanical Collection, this watch keeps time by sensing your arm's movement throughout the day. The movement keeps the watch ticking in order to preserve the battery life.
"The automatic movements and traditional styling of the Heritage Collection reminds us of when watches were an art form meant to be appreciated and passed down to the future generations to come," says Pierre Laurent on the website.
All 200 limited edition models of this watch are handmade by one watch maker. With 18k solid rose gold and a dark leather band, each watch takes two months to make.
The cost is $25,500.
