pierre kunz<br />
Writer Jules Verne’s masterpiece, “From the Earth to the Moon,” captures the delight of making the first steps towards an improbable achievement.<br />
The tale and its theme also serve as inspiration for Pierre Kunz’s own masterpiece, which is rich in complication and motion.<br />
ColleCtion HigHligHt<br />
After creating a new approach to reading time, Pierre Kunz has launched an absolutely original, transparent design. Tahiti Moon, housed in a fluted<br />
Empire-style 41-mm case, is based on the principle of retrograde minutes and hours. Its see-through dial is embellished with a decoration that<br />
imitates delicate engraving at the level of the hands. The oval shape of the lunar section is an integral part of the dial that accentuates its curves. In<br />
balance, a metal and black Tahitian mother-of-pearl astral design displays scintillating stars at the top of the dial. The automatic timepiece reveals<br />
hours, retrograde minutes and moon phases, with a power reserve of 42 hours. It is presented on a hand-stitched alligator skin strap with matching<br />
overstitching. $16,000.<br />
VARiAtionS<br />
Tahiti Moon is available with a case of 18K white gold, 5N red gold, steel or platinum. The classic version comes with a dial comprised of white<br />
gold or red gold cartouche and blued hands, while a sports version has a black cartouche dial with red, orange, blue or yellow numerals and<br />
steel hands to match.<br />
