2025 marks the return of SARPANEVA's Supernova case which have now been paired for the first time with gold Moonfaces, . The half-smiling, half-scowling Sarpaneva Moon takes shape over a complex process. The first step requires creating a drawing six-times actual size, followed by cutting a rough model from plate stock, one piece corresponding to each level of elevation of the oversized model. These parts are then fixed together to form the model plate for the pantograph, which will mill the various shapes into a small piece of copper the actual size of the Moonface. This copper version, which will serve later as an electrode, is then cleaned up and ‘fine-tuned’ by a master engraver before the contours are electro-etched into a steel-pressing block, creating a negative image of the face. Last but not least, the eyes are modeled by hand into the negative image and the whole is finished by a master engraver and diamond-polished before undergoing hardening, followed by yet another polishing. The hands are Stainless Steel and finished to perfection.

The reverse side an extensively modified Soprod A10 caliber which beats at 4 Hz and delivers a 42 hour power reserve. Underneath the stainless steel turbine designed rotor lies bridges finished with perlage which have been rhodium plated.

The Stainless Steel case measures 40mm x 11.4mm x 42mm lug-to-lug and is 50M water resistant. The watch is attached to a 22mm black Saffiano leather strap which tapers to 18mm at the buckle.
