Description from the seller
This is a Bernhard H. Mayer Retrograde watch, a refined Swiss timepiece that combines a bold, modern style with classical complications. The watch immediately stands out thanks to the characteristic "cushion-shaped" stainless steel case.
Key Features
• The Dial: A deep black dial with a layered architecture. The prominent, large Arabic numerals at the 12, 4, and 8 o’clock positions give the watch a contemporary and striking look.
• Retrograde Complication: At the top of the dial (under the 12) lies the day indicator. In a "retrograde" display, the hand does not rotate around; instead, at the end of the week (Sunday) it jumps back to the start (Monday).
• Big Date: At the 6 o’clock position there is a "Big Date" window, with the date clearly legible via two separate discs.
• Hands & Details: The hour and minute hands are skeletonized and equipped with luminescence for better readability in the dark. Above the date display is the text "Retrograde" subtly.
• Case & Strap:
• Case: Polished stainless steel with an ergonomic, gently curved profile.
• Strap: Black leather strap with a crocodile structure and contrasting white stitches, providing a sporty-elegant finish.
Technical Impression
This model is typically powered by a high-quality Swiss quartz movement (often a Ronda movement). It is a watch for the connoisseur who appreciates unique visual features and a case shape that departs from standard round watches.
