A streamlined capsule saves the past for future generations. The stainless steel bracelet of this magnificent Irony Chrono Retrograde meshes satin-brushed and polished surfaces in a seamless approach to a streamlined steel case evocative of adventurous time machines. The metal flange around the black and sunbrushed silver dial has a black minute ring and Arabic numerals at hours 3 through11; the dial features applied metal Arabic numerals at hours 11, 12 and 1 and a black-on-white date window at hour 4. Pride of place is held by the grooved black “retrograde” chrono 60- and 5-minute arcs with white and red indices; the 30-second retro counter with its white-on-black scale and red Arabic start (00) and end (30) points and similar continuous seconds counter at hour 6; the subdials have red or metal squelette hands. Reflective metal squelette hour and minute hands with white superlite highlights and a thin chrono seconds hand mark the time.
