Orient Bonsoir

Japan, 1970s.
A small cushion case that flows straight into its bracelet.
The silver dial is worked in a bark finish, fine vertical lines that glitter as the wrist moves.
Slim baton indexes, two slender hands, nothing more.
The bracelet carries the same frosted texture, soft as fabric against the skin.
Inside, a mechanical movement, still beating after half a century.

It catches the light the way silk does.
