The Sarpaneva Stardust gazes at the night sky with a hand-flamed titanium base dial glowing from beneath; shimmering with colours wrought from different torch temperatures, and echoing the deep-space constellations captured and rendered so vividly by Observatory telescopes - with a dazzling array of hand-applied Tritec luminescence, crafted in-house at Sarpaneva’s workshop.

Through the crystal caseback of the Stardust, the rhodium-plated geometries of Chronode’s ultra-contemporary P.1003 calibre tick surely and steadily. Small seconds allows Stepan to create around the subdial’s spacious, eccentric positioning. The Moon is certainly involved, in the bespoke winding “New Moon Face” rotor.

The Stainless Steel “Korona” case measures 42mm x 10.4mm x 46mm lug-to-lug and is Water Resistant to 100M. Furnished on an Epsom calfskin strap for $19,600, or on the fantastic Moonbridge Steel bracelet for $22,500.
