Vital Spark

A classic design unites understated elegance and impressive presence. The link bracelet and clasp of this distinctive Irony Chrono are fashioned out of brushed silver stainless steel, as is the case. Mounted on the case is a stainless steel bezel featuring a black-on-orange tachometric scale. A white-on-black minute ring with orange Arabic numerals (05, 10, 15 … 60) surrounds the sun-brushed brown dial with its white Arabic numerals at 4, 8 and 12 o’clock and white hour makers. A vertically oriented, black-on-white date window is positioned at 6 o’clock. The 60-minute and decimal chrono counters feature brown dials with orange numerals and indices and squelette silver hands; the continuous seconds counter shows indices and the numeral “60” printed in orange on the brown dial and has a squelette orange hand.

Instinctively Right

An impressive timepiece for the man who’ll make his mark. The sculpted light brown leather strap of this massively elegant Irony The Chrono features high-contrast white stitching on both the strap and the leather loop. The buckle matches the massive case, both in satin-brushed stainless steel. Surrounding the white dial is a flange with both a printed black ring featuring orange Arabic numerals at 5-minute intervals (05,10, 15 …60) and a parallel black-on silver minute ring. The dial features silver hour markers with striped white highlights at all hours but 4, where a black-framed, black-on-white date window appears.

A second ring of Arabic numerals (05, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 40, 45, 55) frames the dial’s grey central zone with its subdials. The 60-minute and small seconds counter form a near-identical pair with cinnamon-coloured creusé dials, silver numerals and indices. The slightly smaller decimal counter has white numerals on a cool grey dial framed by black-on-silver indices.
