There are designs which transcend time and transform an item into an icon. The Admiral’s Cup is one of them. After 45 years in existence, its instantly recognisable dodecagonal bezel is still capturing the imagination. The timepiece has become a work of art as it displays its openwork, chiselled and sculpted heart. The grey chapter ring features applied hour indices with a white luminescent coating dotted with nautical pennants in amongst a transferred minute track. Two phosphorescent skeleton hands and a slim baton seconds hand point to the hours, minutes and seconds. The date display is a web of figures and the date reads vertically in the window at 6 o’ clock. The grade 5 titanium 45mm case has no dial, is completely openwork and houses a self-winding movement which brings to life the functions and 42-hour power reserve. Price: 11,200 CHF
