The Black Widow collection takes its cue from the symbolism of that compelling – and often lethal – seductress, the highly venomous Lacrodaectus Mactans, aka the Black Widow, due to the spider's natural tendency to exercise the right of life or death over her fellow male (after she gets what she wants, of course). Amid acts of passion and ritual celebration, the Black Widow may either show mercy and turn away, or kill outright in an uncontrollable outburst of lust.
The dial architecture, open-worked to reveal the beautiful movement beneath, is multilayered and delineates three regulator-type offset hours, minutes and seconds zones mounted on ceramic micro ball bearings.
The large central hand is the GMT or second time zone featuring a quickset push-button on the case side at 2 o'clock. The hours and minutes are indicated by marked rotating disks on the lower half of the dial under the center and the 0-20 seconds indicated by a small three-handed disk at 3 o'clock.
The Black Widow Collection comprises Mr Green, Mr Race, Mr Ice and Mr Grey, each in an exclusive limited edition of just 12 pieces. |
