THE BACK STORY
The Vuelte brings a wandering hour complication to the Papar collection. The third iteration of Papar’s signature, folded-steel case has been further slimmed down to a sleek 8.8mm thick and features a new and unique take on the wandering hour design. An aperture carries the hour around the dial, while a red triangle traces the minutes, seemingly suspended above it. Papar’s trademark color-changing logo appears through a crescent opening in the crystal.
