THE FACTORY MYSTERY
(Double-Branded Co-Packing):
This piece features a fascinating piece of fashion archive history. While the watch head is pure Pierre Cardin Parisian geometry, it comes straight from the factory paired with a luxurious, genuine leather "Geo Classic" map strap by the iconic Italian label Alviero Martini 1A Classe (Size 26). Sharing the same luxury Italian manufacturing pipeline in the early 2000s, this rare crossover makes it a unique, hybrid collector's statement piece.
