New from KiBiSi, Facette is the second and the latest Bulbul Watch, following up on the studio’s popular Pebble model. Going for a classic yet casual look, the wristwatch centers on a rounded case made of 316L steel. The case measures 40mm in diameter and 8mm in height, and the accompanying Italian leather buckle strap is 18mm wide. As a result, the timepiece is slim in profile and minimalist in presentation. The markers are but dots under the Sapphire crystal. The two-hand movement tells just the hour and the minute. While this may seem sparing, the Swiss-made mechanism is nonetheless of premium quality (gilt with 14K gold and four jewels) and expected to last up to 10 years. Altogether simple and versatile, the Danish design comes in six colorways, each detailed with an embossed blue free loop. Available in Gessato’s store.
