Drawing inspiration from the distinctive window architecture of the Breuer Building (former Whitney Museum), this timepiece is a sculptural masterwork, characterized by its flowing, angular silhouette and uncompromising originality. At its heart beats a Swiss Sellita automatic movement, while the dial, hewn from deep blue lapis lazuli, serves as a captivating focal point. For those who crave daring design and meticulous craftsmanship, the B\/1 is a modern icon in the making.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pre-order-toledano-chan-b-1-2-mother-of-pearl","title":"Toledano \u0026 Chan B\/1.2 Mother of Pearl","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat comes after a successful launch for a new brand?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do you follow up a hit, and avoid the curse of the second album slump?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow do you evolve with audacity, but retain the spirit of the original?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Toledano \u0026amp; Chan's first watch, they had leeway.
