Twenty years of Attractions, marked the way the house marks things — with an object made to last longer than the occasion. The anniversary watch is a collaboration with Vague Watch Co., the Japanese maker that works in the same vintage register, and its starting point is a rare detail from horological history: the rotating bezel introduced on waterproof watches in 1937, here cut with a coin edge and a minute scale picked out in red at the quarters. Around it, the watch keeps to classic proportions and a quiet presence; on the back, a special 20th anniversary engraving fixes the moment.

The dial is black, in the California layout of the period — Roman numerals above, Arabic below, a triangle at twelve — with gilt markers and hands and a fine chapter ring, “Japan Made” at six. The case is an original three-piece design in the bubble-back style, 32mm across, with a 5mm crown, a domed hard crystal, a screw-down back and 50 m (5 bar) water resistance. Inside runs a Japanese automatic movement, chosen for reliability over spectacle.

This version comes on a genuine crocodile leather strap, 17mm at the lugs, cut from the round scales of the animal’s flanks — the pattern most prized for watch straps — in black, with a matching stitch, for the more formal of the two anniversary presentations (the other is a stainless steel expansion bracelet). Each watch arrives in an exclusive box with a one-year warranty. Made in Japan.
