The new Midnight reveals a splendid night-blue dial set with sparkling diamonds that take the place of hour-markers. It is also completed with star-shaped diamond-set indexes and Arabic number 12 in diamonds. The watch shows the hours, minutes and seconds on centrally-mounted hands in the shape of leaves. With luminous treatment, the hands offers excellent legibility even in midnight. There is a two-position crown on the side of the case. When pushed in, it serves for winding the watch. When pulled out all the way, it is used for setting the time. The fascinating timepiece employs a sapphire case-back secured with four polished screws. The case structure is water-resistant to 30 meters.

The heart of the watch is an automatic mechanical movement – Caliber MID-1. It sounds hours and quarters on request, which can be activated with a push on the pusher at 9 o’clock. The movement comprises 251 individual parts, and accommodates 30 jewels. Beating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, this mechanism provides a 42-hour power reserve.

Securing the watch to the wrist is an alligator leather strap finished with a buckle in gold and steel. The Lady Tuxedo Midnight timepiece is launced in a limited edition that only 99 persons can own this horological marvel.
