About this entry

60% of key specs known. Missing: movement, weight, hardening, AR coating, crown, lume.

Designed by illustrator Kristof Devos as the companion to A Perfectly Useless Afternoon: a falling leaf shows the hour and a circling bird the minutes; no seconds. Separate model from the Afternoon (different design and SKU), though it shares the 37mm quartz case. Brand specs: single-jewel quartz (caliber not named; the store tags it "Swiss made"), sapphire crystal, 5 ATM, 316L steel case, 18mm black leather strap. The photos show a black case; the page doesn't name the finish (no PVD claim), so no coating is recorded. This page still shows the brand's older size guide (37mm, 46.9mm lug-to-lug, 10.8mm thick), but the current photos show the redesigned short-lug case (SKU 104a-VL, like the Afternoon's 103a), so the current guide's 41mm and 10mm are recorded; that guide also labels the case 32mm, against the 37mm in the store's tags, and a Stuff.tv review of the new case reported 42.65mm lug-to-lug (see the Afternoon 37mm notes). Release year from the store listing's first publication (November 2020).
