Limited to only 88 pieces, the Airain Type 20 Seconde/Seconde Up in the Air watch is a collaboration with renowned French artist Romaric André, also known as seconde/seconde. An imaginative take on the legendary pilot’s chronograph, the watch features a matte black dial on which the aeroplane porthole like subdials display pixelated 8-bit clouds, with the example on the left giving a subtle glimpse of the tip of the Eiffel Tower.
