El azul es un tejido: seda salvaje cuando le da el sol, lana de traje en la sombra. El cristal plano de zafiro no molesta con reflejos ni de frente. Caja cojín pulida a espejo que parece líquida. Diez.

The gown
that gave the watch
its name
Around 1907, at the Palazzo Orfei in Venice, Mariano Fortuny and Henriette Negrin created the Delphos gown: a hand-pleated silk tunic, inspired by the chiton of the Charioteer of Delphi, that fell freely over the body and freed women from the corset. Fortuny understood before anyone else that light is matter. The Delphos Series 193 takes up that legacy: the dials shift in tone with every turn of the wrist, like the pleating of the tunic, and the sharp geometry of the indices and hands recalls the tailor’s needle
