The watch, which is 45 mm in diameter, can be completely tailored to suit the wearer's tastes, as it is interchangeable with an Haute Horlogerie mechanical module. This offers the user a choice of materials, colors and combinations regarding the watch itself, as well as the lugs, straps and buckle.
