Antarctique MOUNT EREBUS GREEN METEOR

Specifications

About this reference

Named after Mount Erebus, Antarctica’s active volcano known to release microscopic gold particles in its volcanic plume, the line pays homage to a natural phenomenon that inspired Czapek to dedicate the Antarctique Mount Erebus to precious-gold executions. Just as volcanic forces shape the Earth’s hidden treasures, these timepieces celebrate rare materials transformed into works of art. Completing the line is the Antarctique Mount Erebus Green Meteor in yellow gold, adorned with a lacquered green Gibeon meteorite dial– a continuation of the highly sought-after steel edition unveiled last year.
