If you were to close your eyes, you might almost hear a gentle breeze ruffling the surface, almost catch the scent of fresh water dotted with lotus flowers. But it is with wide open eyes that one truly grasps the enchanting poetry of the Magic Lotus Automaton watch. Symbolizing the four seasons embodied by so many flowers, this naturalist fresco invites observers to immerse themselves in the countless details of a landscape in motion. Around the onyx time display extended by a hand-engraved and hand-painted crescent moon disk adorned with mother-of-pearl lotus and precious stones, gold reed branches and enameled foliage, a Koi carp undulates in the waters of a river. Meanwhile, a lotus flower vanishes beneath the time display and foliage, alternating with a new precious stone : a blue or yellow sapphire or a ruby. This represents a remarkable conjuring trick for this animation, which lasts an exceptional four minutes and is based on an extremely complex mechanism visible through the back of the case available in two 28-piece red or white gold limited editions.
