Unveiling Spinnaker’s Latest Collaboration with seconde/seconde/

A Look at the Crazy and Quiet Editions of the Series

The new editions unveil on October 16, priced at $600 each, featuring two distinct designs. The Crazy edition is bold and vibrant, with 1,500 pieces available. Its white dial displays 50 luminous phantoms, creating a three-dimensional effect beneath the sapphire crystal. This stunning visual becomes even more distinctive in dim lighting, where hues of blue, green, white, and yellow shine through.

For another example of combining whimsical designs with precision, this ingenious clock mechanism is sure to intrigue any watch enthusiast with its unique approach to timekeeping.

In contrast, the Quiet edition offers a subtler charm in a limited run of 850 pieces. Its matte white dial appears traditional at first glance. However, with the help of a UV flashlight, hidden ghosts are revealed, adding an element of discovery to its understated design. Measuring at 11.8mm, it’s the slimmest in the series of these watches.

A Playful Approach to Watch Design

Both editions belong to Spinnaker’s Fleuss collection with a 40mm stainless steel case and a Miyota 9039 automatic movement. The polished white ceramic bezel, inspired by a ghost’s hem, enhances the playful theme. Each timepiece comes with a stainless steel bracelet and two extra straps: an orange nylon for a bold look and a white silicone that glows in the dark for the Quiet edition. The timepieces reflect the brand’s commitment to creativity.
