This
Cello Music Special Edition timepiece offers exclusive design features: 4 strings of a cello wrapped around the dial are caressed by a red bow-shaped chronograph hand.

2Cellos is a virtuoso Croatian cello duo composed of
Luka Šulic and
Stjepan Hauser:
www.2cellos.com.They
first attracted attention when they posted a cover of
Michael Jackson’s
Smooth Criminal to YouTube. The video went viral and they were invited
to perform on major TV shows and were consequently contacted by
Elton
John who offered them to tour the world with him.
This
Cello Music Special Edition freelancer will benefit
2Cellos’ very own charity that aims at providing easy access to musical
instruments and at developing the practice of music.

A fine intricate design that recalls the
rosette of a guitar beautifully wraps around the inner dial. A rose gold plated
plectrum points at the 6 o'clock position and seems ready to strike the
