Mini DolceVita

A diamond-set case at 21.5 x 29mm is as small and as dressed-up as this catalogue gets — the Mini DolceVita pushed toward jewelry rather than horology, and I score it accordingly rather than against a conventional watch's finishing criteria. The green dial and matching green leather strap are a coordinated choice, not an accident, and quartz is the only sensible movement at this scale. The off-centre small seconds adds a touch of mechanical interest to what's otherwise built to be looked at more than read. Thirty metres of water resistance is more than this watch will ever need.
