Notes

The Michel Jordi ?Twins? watch is actually two separate watches in one. The watches sit on top of each other, and slide apart when the release catch is pressed. The outer dial on the lower watch is carved from rock from the Swiss Alps. This watch was made in either rose gold or white gold and comes in a limited edition of 99 pieces in each color. 139
