Celeste Watch Company's 32mm quartz case, one of the eight cases the brand fits its handmade dials to. Each dial design sold in this case is recorded as a variant: the store lists every design as its own product, and designs also offered in other case sizes are recorded on those models as well (see Editions). Brand FAQ ("The cases" and Q&A): polished 316L hypoallergenic stainless steel, "32mm Quartz for Cloisonne and 3D designs - 14mm band size", Swiss-made Ronda quartz movement on a 364 cell (about 18 months' battery life; when the battery runs low the seconds hand stops for 4 seconds, then jumps), three hands, sapphire crystal, and water resistance of 30 m ("Water Resistant to 30M" in the cloisonné listings' specifications, which also give a 316L case, sapphire crystal and "Swiss Quartz Movement"; the brand's Professional Watch Assembly page, which cases enamel artists' dials in 32, 36 and 38mm, says "Swiss Ronda quartz movement" and "Water resistant to 30 meters"). The listings say only "Swiss Quartz" and the Ronda calibre isn't named, so only the movement type is recorded. Dials are made and the watches assembled at the brand's studio in Springfield, Oregon. The listings offer a 14mm leather band or a metal bracelet (one listing a stainless steel bracelet) at the same price. Prices are the store's USD prices (the same on 2026-10-24 and 2026-10-31): the model price is the lowest design price in this case, and designs that cost more carry their own. Not stated: lug-to-lug, thickness, case back, crown, AR coating, lume, weight. Editions. 9 variants (dial designs) in this case on 2026-10-31: cloisonné enamel dials by guest artists, by Merry-Lee Rae: Calla Lily, Hummingbird, Octopus, Seema Lilias, Tiger and Violet; by Terri Hickey: In A Galaxy Far, Far Away and Masquerade; by Darci Shae: Sunflower. The cloisonné listings say "Only one available" (some "Only one 32mm/36mm available"); each dial is made by hand, so they are recorded as one-off pieces (limited_to 1). The same listings also sell, recorded on those models: in 36mm: Cloisonné Tiger by Merry-Lee Rae. The Merry-Lee Rae Hummingbird, Calla Lily and Tiger dials were "hand made in collaboration with" or "completely hand made by" Miranda Tsertsvadze; the Terri Hickey dials are fine silver cloisonné. The Tiger listing sells two pieces, a 36mm with a black diamond at 12 ($2,400) and a 32mm with a black dot at 12 ($2,100). The Calla Lily has a white diamond at 12. The Seema Lilias listing's address ends "copy-of-pot-of-gold". Merry-Lee Rae Hummingbird and Calla Lily dials are also sold in 36mm, and a Hummingbird as a 38mm automatic, as separate listings. Sold out on 2026-10-31: Cloisonné Octopus by Merry-Lee Rae.
