An old myth tells of the youth, Phaëthon who bragged to his friends that his father was the sun god, Apollo. When his friends refused to believe him, Phaëthon, went to his father so he could drive his chariot (the sun) for a day. When that day came, the youth lost control of the white horses and Zeus was forced to intervene by striking the runaway chariot with a lightning bolt. His close friend, Cygnus searched desperately for his body that had fallen into the river, Eridanus, diving so many times into the river that Zeus took pity on him and changed him into the swan that has since borne his name, raising his avian form into the heavens.

And so we find this alluring timepiece from Balmer, with its own interpretation of duality, ready and willing to provide that perfect first impression. Made with an exclusive Swiss Leschot LM-196 super automatic caliber movement, this beautiful timepiece is separated into four different functions that combine with the hour and minute hands for a complete timekeeping motif. The guilloche textured dial is then embellished with a lustrous stainless steel case and a high quality teju textured leather strap that is held in place by means of a matching stainless steel slip butterfly buckle.

These pieces are offered in a limited edition that is sure to become a wonderful collector’s item for years to come.
