Van Cleef & Arpels - Heure d'ici

Here’s another watch that doesn’t exist except in my mind’s eye and - now - on this forum.

Inspired by the original and - designed entirely in WFD - I created what I believe is a stunning watch, departing from the original in three ways:

  1. Rather than displaying Heure d’ici & Heure d’ailleurs (hours and hours elsewhere), Heure d’ailleurse is now Minutes d’ici (minutes).
  2. Retrograde minutes becomes retrograde seconds displayed on an arc that WFD can automate and provides a nice sense of motion.
  3. The background - created by a series of “ticks” - is a real eye-catcher and true to the original.

Many thanks and congratulations for your work.
I wish I’ll be able to get to your age and, hopefully, as forgetful as you!
You’re an inspiration, sir. :slightly_smiling_face:

A long life is the best revenge :smiling_imp:
