About The Entry

The Starry Mini CC is conceived around a single idea: a galaxy on the wrist. Its defining feature is the signature C-shaped case profile, a deliberate departure from the straight lines of conventional round watches. This distinctive silhouette creates an immediate visual identity, while optically narrowing the case proportions. The result is a slender, elongated form that sits elegantly on finer wrists.

The curved mineral glass crystal flows seamlessly into the C-shaped lines, reinforcing the unified, soft contours of the case while offering excellent scratch resistance.

The bezel is set with a closed-loop array of pavé stones along the double-C contour. The shimmering stones echo the star-dusted dial, adding refined brilliance and enhanced luminosity, without adding bulk to the case.

At 3 o'clock, the crown is topped with a domed blue agate. The deep blue gem resonates with the aventurine glass dial, landing a precise note of color against the stainless steel case. The crown's side features anti-slip grooving, balancing decorative detail with a secure, tactile grip for easy adjustment.

The time is marked by raised Roman numeral indices. Hands and markers are coated with luminescent material, ensuring legibility even in low light. The three-dimensional dial adds depth, while the cool-toned glow aligns with the celestial theme, offering precise reading by day and night alike.

Water-resistant to 30 meters, the watch is unrestrained by daily routines. Classic elegance meets refined luxury, ready for the commute or an evening out, with equal ease.
