A Piece Of Wearable Sculpture

In the late 1960s, Omega commissioned the visionary British jeweler Andrew Grima to create a series of watches that were less about telling time and more about challenging form. Grima, a master of texture and avant-garde design, produced some of the most radical and artistic timepieces of the era. This De Ville is a direct result of that groundbreaking collaboration, a piece that treats the watch as a single, unified object of art. Executed in solid 18K white gold, it represents an exceptionally rare variant of an already sought-after design. It is a statement piece that blurs the line between horology and high jewelry.

An Immaculate White Gold Execution

This example is defined by its two most striking features: the material and the crystal. The choice of 18K white gold is highly unusual for these Grima designs, which are more commonly seen in yellow gold or sterling silver. It gives the watch a cool, substantial presence on the wrist. The heavily faceted acrylic crystal, a Grima signature, is cut like a gemstone, manipulating light and adding immense depth to the dial beneath. The vertically brushed dial is kept clean, with only three simple round markers on each side, ensuring the focus remains on the watch's dramatic form. This piece is completed by its original, fully integrated woven white gold bracelet, creating a seamless flow of texture from end to end.

Almost Untouched Condition

This watch is in excellent, almost untouched condition. It was clearly and carefully worn, preserving the sharp, sculptural lines of the case and the intricate texture of the integrated bracelet. The heavily faceted crystal is pristine, and the vertically brushed silver dial is immaculate. The entire piece feels cohesive and correct, presenting as a top-tier example of 1970s avant-garde design. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

A Bond Between Owner And Object

This is a watch for the serious collector of 1970s design, not just watches. It appeals to someone who understands the significance of Andrew Grima's work and values the intersection of art and function. The manual wind movement requires a daily interaction, a quiet ritual that builds a physical connection between the owner and this piece of horological sculpture. It is a bold, confident choice that is both a historical artifact and an eminently wearable work of art.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
