Description

 
The Russian Roulette is the latest arrival in the Son of a Gun family. It contains just one single lucky bullet that rapidly spins around the dial with your every move. The new classic 44 mm. ArtyA case with lateral ArtyOr inserts will leave no one indifferent.
 
The multi-layered dial reads like the barrel of revolver and true to the dangerous game of Russian Roulette, it contains only one real single bullet cartridge, set by hand. The high end Swiss made manually wound movement is partly revealed when peeking through the double layer barrel-holes.
 
A third barrel is revealed at the back of the watch completing the pistol picture. The movement has been completely redesigned and skeletonized by Yvan Arpa. It is Unitas based but barely recognizable as such.
 
The lateral inserts on the steel case, are manufactured with a patented new alloy called ArtyOr; a mix of gold, zinc and copper taken from used bullet cartridges.
 
Guns don’t always kill people, time always does.
