Its name, meaning \"Fine Art\" in Italian, very much captures the spirit of this watch. That dramatic Tonneau \"Curvex\" case, shaped to hug the wrist for both comfort and to make a sculptural statement. The iconic Breguet numerals paired with an unusual ornate variation of Cathedral hands. And check out the geometric Art Deco treatment on the mid-case. A very long lug-to-lug suggests that this may be difficult to wear, and indeed it is best suited for wrists larger than 16cm, but the curved geometry essentially throws the numbers out the window. Even I can pull it off, as size-sensitive and fastidious as I am (my self-imposed limit is usually 47mm lug-to-lug). A bold statement piece with an architectural cuff-like presentation, with a juxtaposition of modern sizing and classical details.
