What to know
Semper & Adhuc’s Instantanée Originale replaces conventional numerals with hour names written in full, arranged on a cream dial inspired by historical sky maps. Red pad printing and a light-grey leather strap create a softer, more illustrative identity than the brand’s classical models. The satin 316L steel case measures 37mm by 8mm, with a 44.5mm lug-to-lug span, sapphire crystal and selectable crown orientation.
A restored Swiss AS 1012-family hand-wound movement drives the two-hand display. The salvaged 5½-ligne calibre provides about 36 hours of power reserve and can be partly observed through the case-back aperture. Water resistance is 3 ATM. Its 18mm French-leather strap is handmade and secured by an engraved satin-steel pin buckle.
