Around the World in 8 Days
The famous odyssey imagined by Jules Verne has now been revisited by Jean-Marie Schaller, and sublimated by the art and excellence of watchmaking.
It is eight magnificent metropolises captured in eight horological works of art. The exceptional beauty of these dials has to do with the originality of the materials chosen, ranging from rock crystal to aventurine, from genuine fragments of history to high-tech materials.
