Aurelis Nocturne 41

Drag to turn the bezel

01 — The DialLegible at midnight

Forged obsidian carbon is dense, matte and almost entirely non-reflective, which makes the applied gold indices read like light through a doorway. The hands are dauphine-cut, bevelled by hand, and filled with a warm lume that fades from ivory to a faint amber over eight hours.

02 — The Movement218 parts, one breath

Calibre A-12 beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and holds seventy-two hours of reserve, so a Friday evening on the desk still reads true on Monday morning. The rotor is solid gold for mass, and the bridges are bevelled on a wooden wheel the way it was done a century ago.

03 — The CaseNine point eight millimetres

Every case begins as a puck of forged carbon and loses nine tenths of its mass before it becomes a Nocturne. The bezel turns with sixty clicks, one for each minute, damped so it never overshoots. Water resistant to a hundred metres, though we suspect you will keep it dry.
