Timeless elegance and quality craftsmanship is wha Timeless elegance and quality craftsmanship is what describes the Schwarz Etienne ´1902 Collection’ quite well. For today we have chosen the 1902 Petite Seconde, featuring a titanium case (39 x 10.90 mm, water-resistant to 50m), a slate grey dial, and an in-house automatic micro-rotor movement (cal. ASE 300.00). A classic with attention to details, character and contemporary twist. PS: A titanium case is a first for the La Chaux-de-Fonds manufacture, in 2025. #beeclectic #wotd #watchcollector #watchcollecting #watchcollectors #watchesofinstagram #eclecticuniverse #schwarzetienne #1902petitesecond #smallseconds #dresswatch #titaniumcase #swisswatches
