This tactile finish replaces the more familiar eggshell or sunray treatments of past Ultra Thin models, adding warmth and a contemporary edge to the composition. Slim, elongated trapezoidal hour markers are applied by hand, while the outer minute track features discreet black dots that accentuate the dial’s balance without drawing undue attention.Faceted Dauphine hands sweep across the dial, one side brushed and the other polished, playing with light in subtle ways throughout the day.
