The unexpected part of this watch is the colour of the stones. Instead of the usual clear crystals, the twelve markers on the AR2515 are a deep red, set directly into a mother-of-pearl dial. Against the pale shell they read almost like garnets, and they are the only strong colour anywhere on the watch. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 28mm polished stainless steel case, round, thin and light, with a bezel narrow enough to be nearly invisible from above. This is a small dress watch and it wears like jewellery. The crown is rose gold-toned, tying the case to the bracelet. \n Dial and Legibility \n Mother-of-pearl cut from shell, so the surface runs in irregular bands of white and pale grey that shift with the angle. The red crystals mark the hours; there are no numerals and no printed track beyond a fine ring of dots. Rose gold hands sit above it. In practice the red markers give this dial better legibility than the clear-crystal versions of the same design, because colour contrast beats sparkle when you want to read the time quickly. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz, hours and minutes only. Nothing to wind, no date to reset, no seconds hand crossing the shell. \n Bracelet and Fit \n A two-tone bracelet in steel and rose gold, built from many narrow links so it flexes and drapes across the wrist. Sized by taking links out. Because the case is small and light, the bracelet does most of the work in holding the watch in place, so fit it snug enough that the case stays on top of the wrist through the day. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a small watch with a detail worth pointing out. The red stones are unusual enough to be a talking point, and the two-tone bracelet means the watch does not commit you to either silver or gold jewellery. \n Care and Maintenance \n The rose gold links are plated; treat them gently, keep abrasives away and wipe with a dry soft cloth only. Perfume and hairspray shorten the life of any plating. Keep the watch out of long spells of direct sun, which dulls mother-of-pearl over time. \n Technical Specifications \n Reference AR2515 Brand Emporio Armani Collection Kappa Mini Case diameter 28mm Case material Stainless steel Case shape Round Dial Mother-of-pearl Markers Red crystal dots Movement Quartz Functions Time only Bracelet Two-tone rose gold and stainless steel Gender Women’s EAN 723763248785 \n Buying With Confidence \n Backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.

Look at the stone at six o’clock against the one at twelve: the shell behind them is a different shade, and that is the dial, not the light.
