A unique piece, custom made by maybe the most important and influential jeweller on Bond Street in London. One can only imagine how extraordinary it must have been to request such a custom piece back in the 1940s – not only because of the domino base and its materials, but also because of the size of 43 mm. I bought this piece several years ago in an auction, a truly unique piece which made me hunt for similar watches in the years after.\"\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHere's ours:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eThis is an exceptionally rare and highly unusual watch by one of the world’s most renowned jewelers, Asprey.
