What to know

The AWAKE Son Mài Frosted Leaf Lagoon interprets shifting tropical water through blue and green natural pigments, Vietnamese lacquer and fragments of pure silver leaf. Each dial takes roughly 15 hours to assemble, sand and polish, producing a depth that cannot be mechanically repeated. Luminous capped markers float above the surface and give the artisanal watch practical night-time readability.

The 38mm stainless-steel case measures 44.75mm lug to lug and 11.5mm thick with its sapphire crystal. It is water-resistant to 100 metres and houses the automatic La Joux-Perret G101 with 68 hours of power reserve. Lagoon joins AWAKE’s permanent collection at €2,820, although annual production is limited by handcraft capacity.
