J.N. SHAPIRO. A HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE 18K PINK GOLD WRISTWATCH WITH HAND GUILLOCHE DIAL

This extremely good-looking pink gold manual winding ‘Infinity’ wristwatch is the creation of master engine-turner and California watchmaker Joshua N. Shapiro. Launched in 2018, it is classically styled with a polished and brushed 40 mm case. The transparent crystal display back showcases the fine brushed finish and anglage of the movement which has a striking overall monochrome effect, only the gold plaque engraved with the watch’s number adds a splash of colour. The silvered dial is a glorious example of hand engine turning and perfect styling, the brushed chapter ring has engraved Arabic numerals, a large running seconds dial below. Fine blued steel hands with pierced tips take their inspiration from early pocket watches, the pink gold seconds hand and signature plaque provide a perfect colour contrast to draw the eye.

A superbly finished and stunning wristwatch that showcases the talents of this interesting American independent watchmaker.
