The two Akoya pearls are not simply placed above and below the dial. They form the knots in a complete ribbon composition, with polished gold loops sweeping outward before curving around the miniature oval case. Held between them is a luminous mother of pearl dial with applied Roman numerals at the quarters, tiny gold dot markers and Mikimoto’s delicate emblem beneath twelve. Pearl, shell and gold each reflect light differently, giving the watch dimension without relying on diamonds or excessive ornament.

Its original red embossed leather strap changes the character completely. Against the softness of the pearls and shell, the saturated colour feels deliberate and graphic, preventing the design from becoming overly formal. The strap passes through the case as part of Mikimoto’s change strap construction, allowing the watch head to be worn with alternative colours. With black tailoring, cream silk, dark denim or a simple evening dress, the watch contributes one precise stroke of red while retaining the scale and finish of fine jewellery.

Gentle Care & Handling

Watch Care Guide.

Gilded Hour Assurance

All watches are curated second hand timepieces, in confirmed working condition and sold as is. Long term accuracy cannot be guaranteed, but each watch is tested for at least 72 hours prior to dispatch.

All pieces leave our studio in running condition. Very rarely, a vintage movement may be affected during transit due to vibration or rough freight handling. This is an inherent characteristic of vintage timepieces and is outside our direct control.

Expect imperfections as description is made as accurate as possible but is not always 100% accurate. Be sure to check all photos.

We do not generally accept returns, or cancellations. But we will always strive to help you on a case by case basis. For more information, please head to our policy page.

The Gilded Hour is a NZ based collection of curated ladies watches.
