They say you can’t have too much of a good thing, but I sometimes question if that’s true. I sit in a very blessed position here at T3 – as the chief of all thingswatchrelated, I see some truly wonderful timepieces on a regular basis.
That can lead to some blindness. You see, after you’ve seen movements fromA Lange and Söhneand finishing fromGrand Seiko, it can be tough to see anything else on the same level.
Fortunately, the world of watchmaking is packed full of fantastic pieces, making it a lot easier. That includes the new Biver Automatique Echoes of this Moment – which might just be my favourite watch ever.
Regular readers ofT3’s watch coveragemay well remember theBiver AutomatiqueI wrote about last month. That features a sumptuous dial, but an even more delightful movement on the back.
That’s the same JBC-003 movement from the Automatique, complete with a 22k gold micro-rotor. That’s quite simply one of the nicest movements I’ve ever seen, complete with a range of different finishing on its various bridges and plates.

This one is slightly different, though. In true artistic spirit, you’ll find the name of the piece and the signature of designer, Guillaume Ehinger. Elsewhere you’ll find 65 hours of power reserve and a 3.5Hz beat rate.
For me, though, the movement isn’t even the most exciting part of this watch. See, while the dial on the Automatique was nice, this one is simplyexquisite. It’s crafted from 18k white gold, and topped with various layers of enamel.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a 39mm case crafted from stainless steel. That also sits just 10mm thick, with a 47.55mm lug-to-lug width. That’s impressively wearable.
It also features a rather remarkable 80m of water resistance. That’s notdive watchcredentials, but it’s great for what is really a dress watch. We wouldn’t recommend taking the Alcantara strap in the water, though.
So, why isn’t it already in my shopping basket? Well, because there is only one being made. The piece is being auctioned as part of the TimeForArt auction in New York this December.
Complete with an estimate of $60,000-$120,000 (approx. £46,500-£93,000 / AU$91,500-AU$183,000)… I think I’ll just have to ogle from afar.
