Oliver Gallaugher Deep Space Blue
Designed by Oliver Gallaugher, the Deep Space Blue is a luxury mechanical watch that offers a more compact interpretation of the designer's original series. Its standout feature is a dynamic deep blue dial that creates a celestial visual effect; as the wearer moves, light channels diagonally across the surface to make a constellation of stars appear to flash and fade. This unique finish is achieved through a meticulous process of fine brushing, blue lacquering, precision engraving, and rhodium galvanization. Because every dial features a hand-engraved star pattern, each individual timepiece is entirely one-of-a-kind.
O’Francese Restaurant
The island of Palmarola is a protected nature reserve celebrated as one of the world's most beautiful and pristine destinations. While it remains largely uninhabited most of the year, it serves as a summer sanctuary for residents of nearby Ponza, who retreat to traditional cave houses to escape the seasonal crowds. Beyond these unique dwellings, the island's only other structures are clustered around Cala del Porto—Palmarola's sole landing point—which is home to the O’Francese Restaurant and Guest House.
