Why we chose it

A note from the PRJKT8 team

We chose it because it was designed by a collector for collectors, and it shows in the small things: the gadrooned centre, the skyscraper hands, a seconds dial left almost bare. The green makes it the easiest Metropolis to wear every day, and 39 mm of polished steel suits most wrists.

The watch

Louis Erard and The Horophile first drew La Petite Seconde Metropolis in slate, salmon and tobacco. This fourth one is green, and in Louis Erard’s words it looks to the future rather than the past.

The style is New York Art Deco redrawn for now, which the pair call neo deco. The centre of the dial is gadrooned in concentric grooves that catch the light, the outer ring and the small seconds at 6 o’clock are satin-finished in circles, and the polished “Empire” hands are skeletonised stepped batons taken from the Empire State Building.

Inside, the automatic Sellita SW261-1 gives around 38 hours, behind a caseback engraved “The Horophile”. 39 mm of polished steel, on light brown calf.
