Vintage Watches From Amsterdam

More details about this timepiece

Why it stands out:
- Exemplary condition.
- Designed by Gilbert Albert.
- Increasing in popularity.
- Extra gold safety link.
- With red Omega presentation box.

This bracelet watch shows Alberts vision clearly. The flexible maille d’or (gold mesh) is worked to look organic, almost woven, so the bracelet feels less like a strap and more like jewellery shaped by nature. It flows into the watch head, blurring the line between timepiece and adornment. It’s a typical example of Albert’s belief that a watch could be a small sculpture for the wrist.
