It frames an even more unconventional dial, which is fully clad in genuine tobacco leaves delicately hand “dialized” by artist Dominique Arpa-Cirpka. “Working with living materials is always a challenge,” explains Yvan Arpa. “We had to stabilize the material to make it as lively and expressive as possible, whilst ensuring it would stand the test of time.
After carrying out a great many tests, we can now guarantee that the Tobacco will age just as well as the timeless passion of its owners!” The mechanism behind this unique piece is an exclusive ArtyA Aion automatic COSC certified movement. A unique watch, numbered 1/1.
