The city at midnight is a mystery, its dark arching skies a vault filled with secrets, starry lights talking in code. This Irony Big is a thing of beauty, its strap resembling the knobby wrinkled skin of a beast forming a rough textured path to the black steel case. On the smooth black bezel, silver highlights mark all hours, circling the dial whose outer limits are marked with rectangular silver hour and slim white minute indices. On a steel gray band are black Roman numerals at all hours; the centre of the dial is dark gray. Broad, squared-off steel hour and minute hands mark the time, their squelette windows opening onto the dark dial beneath.
