Ferragamo built its name on shoes and accessories, so every watch the house releases gets judged against that legacy. The new 1898 Moonphase Chronograph makes a decent case for itself. The case is stainless steel with gold and black IP treatment, 44mm across, topped with an AR-coated sapphire crystal. Inside beats the ETA Valjoux 7751, a Swiss automatic that handles both the chronograph and the moonphase. Flip the watch over and you get Côtes de Genève finishing plus the Ferragamo logo on the rotor. One thing to know before you fall in love. Water resistance is 30 meters, so keep it away from the pool. With only 150 of these hitting stores, waiting is a gamble.
Any takers?
