Back to collection

The DB28 Digitale, featuring a sophisticated mechanism that powers multiple display modes—digital for the jumping hours, analogue for the minutes, and spherical for the moon phases—embodies a bold, contemporary interpretation of a classic aesthetic. The dial, decorated with a hand-guilloché barleycorn motif, along with the spherical moon and star-studded sky, incorporates traditional elements in a way that highlights the modernity and innovative spirit of the design.
