Starry Night Black Cocker Spaniel Watch with Black Leather Band

Starry Night Black Cocker Spaniel Watch — van Gogh’s restless sky wraps the Black Cocker Spaniel design in spiralling cobalt and gold, painted small enough to live on a wrist and busy enough to keep catching the eye. Everything on the face was redrawn for the scale. Detail that would disappear at wrist size has been removed rather than crowded in.

The case is silver-tone stainless steel, paired with a black genuine leather band. Arabic numeral hour markers keep the face readable at a glance, and the dial window is scratch-resistant mineral crystal backed by hardened wear-resistant glass, so the artwork survives daily wear rather than clouding over. The buckle has enough holes to suit a narrow or a broad wrist, so it does not need resizing at a jeweller before it can be worn.

Inside is a reliable quartz movement; outside, a buckle closure that adjusts across a wide range of wrist sizes. At 1.57 inches across the dial and 0.39 inches thick, it sits flat under a shirt cuff. It suits anyone who would rather not wear the same watch as everybody else, and it works with both casual and formal dress. It is light on the wrist for its size, which is usually what decides whether an interesting watch gets worn twice or every day.

As a present it solves the common problem of knowing what somebody likes but not what to do about it. The leather will darken slightly with wear, which most people prefer. Keep it out of standing water and it will stay comfortable for years.
