Thanks to its movement with 5-minute repeater, the Midnight Poetic Wish Watch measures time in a poetic interpretation. On one of the towers of the Notre-Dame Cathedral, a young man makes a wish to be reunited with his love. He paces the hours with light steps, counting the minutes until they are reunited, as his gaze follows a shooting star.
