But it is with wide open eyes that one truly grasps the enchanting poetry of the Magic Lotus Automaton watch. Symbolizing the four seasons embodied by so many flowers, this naturalist fresco invites observers to immerse themselves in the countless details of a landscape in motion. Around the onyx time display extended by a hand-engraved and hand-painted crescent moon disk adorned with mother-of-pearl lotus and precious stones, gold reed branches and enameled foliage, a Koi carp undulates in the waters of a river. Meanwhile, a lotus flower vanishes beneath the time display and foliage, alternating with a new precious stone : a blue or yellow sapphire or a ruby. This represents a remarkable conjuring trick for this animation, which lasts an exceptional four minutes and is based on an extremely complex mechanism visible through the back of the case available in two 28-piece red or white gold limited editions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Magic Lotus Automaton<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>CASE : <\/b><\/span>red or white gold <span class=\"s1\"><b>DIAMETER : <\/b><\/span>43mm\u00a0<span class=\"s1\"><b>MOVEMENT: <\/b><\/span>mechanical self-winding, Jaquet Droz 2653 AT2 caliber, 68h power reserve\u00a0<span class=\"s1\"><b>FUNCTIONS : <\/b><\/span>hours, minutes, dragonfly-shaped indicator of the automaton\u2019s power-reserve <span class=\"s1\"><b>DIAL : <\/b><\/span>onyx, engraved and hand-painted white mother-of-pearl, lotus flowers set with seven diamonds, a ruby, a blue sapphire and a yellow sapphire\u00a0<span class=\"s1\"><b>CASEBACK : <\/b><\/span>sapphire crystal\u00a0<b>WATER RESISTANCE : <\/b><span class=\"s2\">30m <\/span><b>STRAP : <\/b><span class=\"s2\">alligator leather <\/span><b>LIMITED EDITION : <\/b><span class=\"s2\">28 in red gold and\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>28 in white gold<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you were to close your eyes, you might almost hear a gentle breeze ruffling [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":34730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34735"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34735"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34735\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34736,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34735\/revisions\/34736"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
