At a quiet poetry reading near the canals, I had this watch peeking out from under my sleeve. Its ultra-thin casing felt almost weightless but looked stunning. The grey dial against the candlelit brick walls had such an old-world-meets-modern charm.

The steel casing matched the hardware on the deck, and the complications added a layer of intrigue.

At a formal family majlis, this grey dial stood out without overwhelming my traditional dishdasha. It was subtle, regal, and effortlessly elegant. The calendar layout is visually well-balanced, and the craftsmanship feels elite.

The simple beauty of this watch pairs effortlessly with my monochrome wardrobe. I wore it for a product launch in the city’s design district and was asked multiple times which Vacheron model it was.
