Everything about this single-hand watch screams quality, tasteful design and thoughtful aesthetics. This watch comes equipped with a gorgeous [polished stainless steel case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triarch) that works beautifully with the modern, tanned natural Italian leather, which is embossed with the Ferro logo. The watch's design language is inspired by [sports car tachometers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canfield-speedway-lap-07-watch), and makes for a great blend between [classic and modern aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singer-reimagined-caballero).
