The Metropolitan Museum of Art stands as a global symbol of culture, housing over two million works across centuries. Its foundation was shaped in part by prominent Vanderbilt members, who donated Old Master drawings, one of many contributions that helped establish the museum’s early prestige. From landmark exhibitions to lasting patronage, their influence helped make the Met a beacon of art and refinement. Today, that legacy lives on through iconic events like the Met Gala, where art, fashion, and society converge.

Turn the watch over and you'll find a finely embossed silhouette of the New York skyline, a subtle, elegant tribute to the city’s architecture and energy. It’s a detail not everyone sees, but those who do will know: this is a piece built for city dwellers who appreciate quiet luxury and thoughtful design.

The minimalist sunray dials, paired with a slender mesh strap, echo the balance of softness and strength that defines New York style. Neither loud nor fleeting, it’s a look that lingers.
