Starry Night Cornish Rex Cat Watch with Black Leather Band

Starry Night Cornish Rex Cat Watch — the dial borrows the 1889 sky: thick curved brushwork in half a dozen blues, with the Cornish Rex Cat artwork placed at the center where the swirls part. Everything on the face was redrawn for the scale. Detail that would disappear at wrist size has been removed rather than crowded in.

Built around a silver-tone stainless steel case and a black genuine leather band, with hardened mineral crystal protecting the face. The Arabic numeral markers are deliberately plain so the artwork, not the typography, does the talking. 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.

Quartz movement keeps the time accurate without winding, and the buckle closure adjusts to fit. The face measures 1.57 inches across, the band 0.87 inches wide, and the whole watch weighs just under 4 ounces — substantial on the wrist without being heavy. Worn daily it holds up; given as a gift it lands, particularly with someone who already has a favorite subject and no way to wear it. 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.
