Aurum is a gift box designed for edible gold leaf. The packaging presents a raw material as a premium retail product. The box structure refers to jewelry packaging. An anodized golden metal plate with the engraved brand name seals the box and works as a magnetic lock. Textured paper, gold foil stamping and spot UV form the outer surface.

Despite the absence of visible watch hands, a conventional quartz movement is being used to drive the planetary time indicator.
