Son of a Gun Dancing Skulls
After the Flobert 6 mm bullets, the enfant terrible of Swiss watchmaking has now, of all things,
presented us with a few death's heads. What a nerve! Hand-sculpted skulls dancing on your wrist.
Pretty scary stuff! A sort of dance of the living-dead but, hey, let's remember we're talking here about a
mechanical watch with a traditional movement. Strong stuff, though! Looking at it makes you think death
is not so bad after all. However, let's put it off for a while so we can enjoy another of ArtyA's whacky
creations.
