12H Charles Silver & Black Rice Grain Watch 38mm

The Watch

The Gustave & Cie 12H Charles Silver & Black Rice Grain 38mm watch perfectly embodies the subtle balance between classic elegance and modern watchmaking. Its round 38 mm case in 316L stainless steel delivers both durability and refinement. The polished, high-shine finish highlights the sophistication of its design. Made in France, this watch reflects exceptional craftsmanship and the brand's meticulous attention to detail. At 11.05 mm thick, it sits comfortably on the wrist without sacrificing its distinguished look. The watch draws the eye with its carefully finished surfaces and a transparent caseback that reveals the automatic movement within.

The Dial

The dial of this watch stands out with its double-circle aesthetic, elevated by a deep black hue that creates a bold contrast with the golden Arabic numerals and hands. This layout ensures optimal legibility and visual appeal at a glance. The central hands catch the light beautifully, and the date indicator subtly integrated at 6 o'clock adds practical functionality without cluttering the design. Protection is provided by a sapphire crystal, prized for its hardness and scratch resistance, with an anti-reflective treatment ensuring crystal-clear visibility from every angle. The meticulously drawn railroad minute track around the dial accentuates the technical feel while reinforcing the classic aesthetic.

The Movement

At the heart of this timepiece beats a Miyota 9015 Japanese automatic movement, renowned for its precision and reliability. This movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 A/h (4 Hz), delivering smooth and consistent timekeeping. The watch offers a power reserve of 42 hours, providing excellent autonomy without the need for frequent winding.

The Bracelet

The bracelet, in grey stainless steel, completes the watch's sophisticated design with effortless elegance. Its rice grain link structure delivers a distinctive aesthetic alongside unmatched flexibility and wrist comfort. This bracelet style - a classic pairing for dress watches - enhances the vintage character of the piece while remaining timelessly refined. The 20 mm lug width respects ideal proportions. Fitted with a deployment clasp, it ensures maximum security during wear while remaining easy to put on and take off.

Water Resistance

This watch's water resistance is rated at 5 ATM, meaning it is designed to withstand everyday splashes while providing solid protection against moisture. While not suited for diving, it is perfectly built for daily wear, keeping your watch safe through all your everyday activities.
