The silhouette of a mermaid can be seen in pitch-black darkness. The 9 o'clock position features a hollow eccentric time dial made of mother-of-pearl, with a beautiful mermaid tail carved in the central position and pearls used as the time scale to complement the elegant image of the mermaid. The 12 o'clock position features a globe-shaped ornament symbolizing human curiosity and the pursuit of immortality about mermaids. Additionally, “The Mermaid” Tourbillon is paired with a unique stingray strap that sways and shines like the splendor of a swimming mermaid with the movement of the wrist.
