On its dial, the ERWIN LAB02 is a simple, three hand timepiece with a contrast silver and rose gold sector dial. The 38.5 mm stainless steel case is polished with a step bezel that frames a sector dial that recalls the legendary sector dials from the 1930s. The sector dial is divided into four concentric segments. The markings are a deep midnight blue and numerals of each segment are raised and finished in rhodium for depth.

Another particularity of the dial is that the outer railway five-minute divisions are perfectly aligned with the jumping seconds hand. The feuille hands are also rhodium finished. Altogether, the contrast of the rhodium elements against the rose gold and silver dial results in excellent legibility.

Turning the timepiece over is a further delight with a display back that reveals the workings of the fully in-house Calibre A11MS movement. Thanks to its patented architecture, the locking mechanism is mounted under a three-spoke bridge that puts the jumping seconds mechanism at center stage.

Every jumping second captivates the eye and can be enjoyed on both sides of the timepiece. Completing the sophisticated design, the Erwin LAB02 is fitted with a handmade Italian leather strap.

The two watches literally sold like hot cakes invited the designer from Lucca to immediately propose variants of the two special creations this time in limited editions of 88 pieces each.

Prides of the finest goldsmith manufacture, testified by the impressive chisel works that fill the sides of the two cases with low reliefs, the two watches are re-proposed with new stylistic features and declined in aged bronze and one more time in 925 silver.

Under the sapphire crystal a new dial, even more in harmony with the rest of the cases, lasered with indexes and numbers in relief, respectively in silver and bronze, replaces the two-level one of the previous models.

The 45 mm case, in the two noble metals, saves the same features of the previous editions with, in the Florentine version, the two symbolic monuments finely reproduced, Ponte Vecchio bridge extended in length over one entire side and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore on the opposite.
