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.

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 string motif that circles the dial on which rose gold indexes rest in a fret-like fashion.
