Mr. Ice

Here's the latest - straight from Ladoire -

Ladoire presents Mr Ice
The next chapter in the Black Widow collection

The dial architecture, open-worked to reveal the sophisticated movement beneath, is multilayered and delineates three offset zones – hours, minutes and seconds – mounted on an innovative system of ceramic micro ball bearings.
Hours and minutes are indicated by rotating discs on the lower half of the dial, while 20-second intervals are indicated by a small three-handed disk at 3 o'clock. This triumvirate of discs forms the Ladoire signature HMS Planetary complication.
The large, central hand displays a second time zone – adjusted via the black DLC quickset push-button on the case band at 2 o'clock. This feature is of particular benefit to frequent travelers and those with family and friends around the world.
Six of the second-time zones are explicitly indicated between 8 o’clock to 1 o’clock, on indices around the dial, while engraved on the GMT wheel is Ladoire’s signature spider web – or possibly the Black Widow’s calling card to boast that she has gotten exactly what she wanted.

The ensemble of dial features have received black, silvered or fresh white finishes, the latter two reminding us of the cool, steely operator that Mr Ice most definitely is.
