Description

Oh, Orion: with a champagne-gold dial, well proportioned neon-orange accents, and an ultra-thin, chronometer-capable automatic caliber within (a groundbreaking movement of the future that’s already here), it’s easy to fall in love with this watch at first glance. The finest watchmaking from Glashütte, modern design from Berlin, butterflies in the belly, a passion for beauty; we still go weak at the knees over this timepiece.
