Known for her work with Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier, Di Camerino brought her fashion-forward sensibility to watch design, creating a piece that blends luxury with a touch of the future. With its sharp, angular shape, the design evokes the bold, functional aesthetic of an astronaut’s belt buckle—something built to withstand the rigors of space travel. The yellow gold case glows with a soft, yet radiant presence, reminiscent of a timepiece made for a different era—one that imagined space exploration as a stylish adventure. The 1970s saw a surge of fascination with the cosmos, and Di Camerino’s design reflects that spirit, bringing a touch of the unknown into the world of horology. More than just a watch, this piece carries the essence of a time when fashion and space exploration were intertwined, offering a sleek, cosmic-inspired design that’s as bold today as it was in the 1970s.
