A 38mm hand-wound Swiss watch built on a design first worn during U.S. Navy polar expeditions. The salmon sunray dial turns heads immediately. Flip it over, start winding and a miniature mechanical penguin automaton comes to life. An intimate complication designed for the wearer alone. 316L stainless steel case, double-domed sapphire crystal, 10 ATM water resistance. Swiss made.
The secret complication
Flip the watch over. Begin winding. The sapphire caseback reveals a mechanical animation invisible from the front: a hand-painted penguin automaton, driven by a cam system integrated directly into the movement. The winding motion, the same action that powers the Soprod P054 hand-wound movement, simultaneously drives the animation. No battery. No electronics. Pure mechanical ingenuity, hidden on the reverse side of the watch where only the wearer ever sees it. This tradition of private, discreet complications, automata and erotic scenes concealed in watch casebacks, dates to 18th-century Swiss horology. The design reinterprets that heritage with irreverence and craft.
