The Miffy watch. link I admit I had to look this one up to learn more after reading link your suggestion link and Malaika's glowing review. I have to admit I am sold... these are fantastic and a wonderful investment in fun.
As enigmatic as link they were fascinating, with their link hands that seemed to float link in the air without any restraint, over time these pieces have seen their movements miniaturized to be encased in wristwatches.
The shape of the crystal follows the facet of the case. The link hard lines intersect thoughtfully, and if you look at the lugs, link you can imagine a world in where that half millimeter of link width on each side could have been thrown out to make the lug width just one millimeter wider and the lugs easier to shape.

The "Big Ben" shaped hour and minute link hands link as well as the off-center small seconds at 2 o'clock are powered by link the SMA03-TD caliber, developed and assembled using 162 components in the watchmaker's Neuchâtel workshops.
But the market went wild – we're talking nearly four times the price on the secondary market – because of how limited the production and slow the rollout was for a very summery and very "vibey" watch. link Sure, that's cooled of, but when Tudor plopped the pink chrono on the table during my meeting, it was only my second time seeing one in person and link I was still undecided. Did I like it because everyone else did and the link price went crazy? Or could I actually see myself as a pink chronograph guy.
That said, there's also a link certain beauty in link saving certain watches for certain special occasions.
