The baton-style hands are in rose gold with a luminescent coating.

Attention to details
Perfecting the bracelet
There are different types of bracelet: chain bracelets and the mechanically made bracelet. With the traditional chain bracelets each link used to be individually handmade, positioned, aligned, assembled, and soldered, which meant that completing a bracelet was a complicated process. These days the links of modern mechanical bracelets are produced by machine; however, assembly and finishing is always by hand, and it remains an intensive and satisfying job.
