Unlike a traditional hour hand that makes a full circuit around the dial, the retrograde hour display traces a 220-degree arc and snaps back in an instant to its starting point when it reaches 6:00.

As the time progresses from day to evening, an intricately crafted disc transitions from a daytime scene with a bright yellow sun and white clouds scudding across an azure sky, to an evening view of a brooding indigo evening sky with distant stars. This unusual display provides an intuitive interpretation of the day/night cycle while blending art and function.

On the dial hand-painted minute numerals replace the hours on the perimeter creating a refreshing and original perspective.

Powered by the automatic winding caliber MVD 2800-HRSDT, the Retrograde Hours Day & Night is offered in several case sizes crafted in 18kt rose or yellow gold as well as stainless steel – with or without diamonds on the case & dial.

There are also numerous colorways that range from traditional haute couture styles to bold colors with stark contrast, and even softer pastels that would look and feel right at home on Miami Beach or the French Riviera.
