Inaugurated in 1871 to promote the arts and science, London’s Royal Albert Hall is now one of the most renowned concert halls in the United Kingdom. Built in the inimitable Victorian style, this vast red-brick monument is comprised of several concentric circles and an impressive glass dome, which towers over the centre of this curved, resolutely rounded structure. Just like this magnificent building, the Belluna range displays perfectly harmonious forms and embodies classic, timeless elegance.

Combining tradition and modernity, the Belluna Heures & Minutes Décentrées is a unique timepiece. Its all-new design is both classic and original, while its magnificent dial offers a play on circles and curves evoking the spectacular architecture of the Royal Albert Hall. It houses two off-centred counters: the hours and minutes counter located at 10 o’clock, and the seconds counter positioned at 4 o’clock. It is this unique touch, together with the scrolling date at 7 o’clock, that gives this model its originality. The radiant silver grained dial captivates with its various finishes: the hours and minutes counter is sunray satinated, the seconds counter is snailed, and the rings surrounding them are black nickel-plated. An opening in the first quarter of the dial displays the name of the model in French – the language of watchmaking par excellence. This extraordinary dial together with the attention paid to every detail make the Belluna Heures & Minutes Décentrées an exceptional model that is emblematic of Mido’s expertise.
