Storm 47503/GD/S Sansa Gold Curb Bracelet Watch - W87388
Ref. 47503/GD/S
Designed at Storm London's British studio as something closer to jewellery than instrument, the Sansa centres on a 17mm rectangular gold-plated case with a noticeably domed crystal that arches above the silver dial — an architectural detail that catches light differently depending on the angle and gives the watch more presence than its compact footprint would otherwise allow. The curb-link bracelet is matched in scale to the case rather than adapted from a larger watch, so the two read as a single piece. The EasiLink system is worth noting for daily wear: the bracelet adjusts by removing links at home, without tools, which removes the usual friction of having a chain bracelet properly fitted.

Learn more about Storm
Storm was founded in London in 1989 and spent the next decade doing something few watch brands attempt: treating the case as sculpture rather than a container for a dial.
The house style is immediately identifiable — mirror-polished steel, faceted and asymmetric cases, dials with no numerals at all, and a fondness for finishes that make the whole watch look like a single machined block of metal.
Some of the designs abandon conventional time display entirely, using rotating discs, hidden apertures or coloured mirror crystals that only reveal the time at certain angles. The Remi and Zorex lines have carried that idea for years.
The brand designs and produces its own watches rather than licensing the name, and sells through its own stores and jewellers, mostly in the UK and Europe.
Movements are quartz throughout. The point has never been the mechanics; it is that a Storm watch does not look like anything else in the window, which after thirty-five years remains a fair claim.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
