Catalogue Essay
The Alfred was available exclusively online and came only in steel. The case is handsomely proportioned and distinguished by the maison’s meticulously hand-made teardrop lugs. In contrast to the finely polished case with sculpted concave bezels, the dial is exceedingly simplistic yet substantial. The elegant observatoire hands add a sense of balance to the overall composition as one’s eyes are effortlessly drawn between the round case, the sub-dial and the open circle of the hour hand. The highly legible grenage dial is executed in a matte finish with a mixture of ingredients kept secret by the maison. As a result, the grain-textured dial is mysteriously pleasant when examined up-close. The traditional flair of The Alfred is further emphasised by the use of Breguet numerals, giving it the impression of a 19th century English pocket watch.

Visible through the sapphire case back is the firm’s admirable cal. P4, a manual-wind movement with a 72-hour power reserve, stop-seconds function and exquisitely decorated with Geneva stripes. The present watch is offered in excellent condition with a beautiful brown calf leather strap and is accompanied with its full set of accessories.
