Fred The Move 1 GMT Watch

Luxury jeweler Fred, which is part of the LVMH group, has launched their first automatic complication watch: the Move 1 GMT. The watch has a 41 mm case and a two-tone face. Instead of the quartz movement in the Move 1 Chrono, this watch has an automatic 310-calibre Dubois-Depraz movement. The GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) function shows a second time zone with the orange hand on the face. The turning single-direction crenulated bezel has twenty steel teeth for controlling diving time. There is also a special edition steel and diamond version which is limited to 70 pieces. I think i'd like it far better if it didn't have the word "Fred" repeated over and over as part of the design on the dial. A discrete LV or a Fendi or Gucci logo I can handle in limited doses but, no offense to the jeweler, there's just something too quotidian about Fred.
