The cool, vitrified surface of the enamel feels like a smooth river stone against the skin, carrying a deceptive weight that speaks to its artisanal origin. As the spring-loaded cover snaps open, it reveals a hidden dial, much like a secret kept within a locket. The hand-painted floral motifs—rendered in soft hues of Rose and Leaf—capture the light with a ceramic depth, making the watch feel less like a tool and more like a fragment of a Swiss spring morning fastened to your pulse.

Andre Mouche occupies a singular space in Jura-region horology, operating from their workshop in Fahy since 1961. Unlike the industrial rigidity of many luxury houses, Mouche maintains the traditional “peinture sur émail” technique, where each petal is a testament to the painter’s steady hand. This piece houses a reliable Swiss Quartz heart within its 18k Aurum-plated frame, blending mid-century romanticism with the unwavering accuracy of modern timekeeping. To possess this watch, complete with its original box, is to own a wearable canvas that ignores the frantic pace of the digital world in favor of a slower, more soulful rhythm.
