The small Italian dress-watch microbrand echo/neutra teams up with French parodic-watchmaking icon Romaric André's seconde/seconde/ project for a 50-piece run of the Rivanera. The dial wears an anechoic-foam-inspired blue hobnail texture — a perfect visual pun on the brand's name — combined with seconde/seconde/'s signature disrupted seconds hand. Now available, on echoneutra.com, at €1,490 / US$1,810.
