Nectere Eclipse watch is an intriguing dive into the world of horology, combining exquisite design with commendable functionality. The watch, priced at $880 USD, brings together the meticulous craftsmanship of Sea-Gull manual movement and the creative brilliance of Nectere. This 100-piece limited edition watch shows the extent of innovation the watch industry offers today, with a reliance not just on big brands, but micro ones as well.
The Nectere Eclipse draws its inspiration from celestial bodies, recreating the breathtaking moment of a full eclipse on the dial. Crafted from gold PVD-coated stainless steel, the watch measures 38mm wide, 40.5mm lug-to-lug, and just an impressive 8.5mm thick. The thinness attributes to the overall appeal of the watch, enhancing wearability, beauty, and proportionality. This slim profile is made possible due to the ultra-thin, affordable Seagull ST-17 manual movement, which measures merely around 3.2 millimeters thick.
