    One for the Aussies

    Ash Barty collaboration.
    They appear to have come up with a pretty nice looking watch too.
    Strictly limited to 996 numbered pieces (Ash was born in 1996), the new watch is a three-hand quartz model. A curved sapphire crystal, anti-reflective on both faces, offers a clear view of an enchanting blue mother-of-pearl dial with three jubilé diamonds at 12 o’clock, rhodium-coloured dauphine hands and applied indexes, a date window at 3 o’clock and a moving rhodium-coloured tennis ball centred in the lower half at 6 o’clock. Both the monobloc case and 3-row bracelet are fashioned in Rado’s signature polished plasma high-tech ceramic. A special engraving on the titanium case back presents Ash’s signature on a tennis ball and the lettering LIMITED EDITION with the consecutive edition-number xxx/996 above the ball and ASH BARTY below it.

    The tennis ball replacing the anchor is a great touch. Mrs. K would wear that ione in a heartbeat.

    It's a lovely piece.
    I think I'd happily wear a men's version.
