Baselworld: a piece of the Eiffel Tower in a Saint Honoré watch

Pulling out all the stops to celebrate its 130th anniversary, the Swiss watch brand has incorporated a piece of steel from the Eiffel Tower into a collector's edition timepiece. This highly original watch is on display at Baselworld (March 19-26).

Titled simply "Tour Eiffel," the new Saint Honoré collector's watch incorporates part of a metal beam that was once part of the French capital's most famous monument. Recognizable by its brown color, this special steel was sculpted into the bezel of the timepiece.

The silvered relief dial, which, like the bezel, echoes the lattice design of the Eiffel Tower, has an aperture revealing the Sellita SW 200 mechanical self-winding movement and is housed in a 42mm steel case.

The watch is worn on a brown crocodile leather bracelet and comes in a special box with a certificate of authenticity signed by SETE (Société d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel), the company that owns and operates the Eiffel Tower.

The Tour Eiffel watch is produced in a limited edition of 1,885 units, a reference to the year of Saint Honoré's founding.
