Concealed design reveals luxury interior

A sliding panel on the angular bracelet slides aside to show the dial underneath. This mechanism hides approximately two carats of natural diamonds inside a sculptural titanium case. The piece measures 21.6mm wide and flows directly into an architectural bracelet structure.

Concept draws on Japanese history

The name Oshinobi references a historical term for high-status individuals moving incognito through the world. This concept translates literally into the watch architecture which keeps its extravagant elements hidden until revealed. The brand returns to the TimeForArt event after contributing a meteorite piece in 2024.

One-off piece heads to sale

This unique timepiece is crafted specifically for the upcoming benefit auction scheduled for December. The design continues the sculptural approach established with the brand's previous B/1 family collection.
