BOREL is known for its design innovation featured in this ERNEST BOREL Cocktail Watch! Its mystery dial is composed of twin semi-transparent disks rotating in opposite directions to create a hypnotic kaleidoscope effect. See it, to believe it in the video above...

It's true that this Cocktail models the typical hypnotic kaleidescope dial, fancy lugs, glass back & gold-dot grid. However, ERNEST BOREL kicked it up a notch by adding an animated crystal trim!
