On the Mandetbrote Orbital, the minute hand rides on a geared, folding arm that stretches out and draws back as it follows a looping track around the dial, while the hour turns on a disc in a window at six o'clock. Long-listed for the 2025 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, the design gives you a new picture of the time with every glance. In Bronze Crush, a deep green dial with a radiating texture sits in a warm bronze case, and Swiss Super-LumiNova lights the markers after dark.

Turn it over and the sapphire exhibition caseback shows a Japanese Miyota 9015 base carrying the orbital module, with 24 jewels, 28,800 vibrations per hour and around 42 hours of power reserve. The 41.2mm case in CuSn8 bronze sits beneath a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and is water resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). Over time, the bronze develops a patina of its own. A green leather strap tapers from 20mm to 18mm toward a bronze buckle. A complication you will find yourself watching as often as reading.
