The dial shows an aperture for the digital hour display at twelve o’clock, a minute hand in the upper dial, and small seconds at six o’clock. These three jump as one, instantaneously – something achieved with a completely new movement
Jumping mechanisms usually call for energy-hungry jumper systems, but this caliber manages entirely with the use of gears, with the displays integrated into the base movement.
ts exclusive striking mechanism makes the watch additionally delightful. At the top of each hour, a hammer strikes a single blow on a gong, synchronized perfectly with the hour’s jump in an aperture, and the jump of the minutes and seconds. This sound indication can be de-activated using a small slide at ten o’clock.
The movement sits inside a timeless tonneau-shaped platinum case. The caseband is patterned with engraved floral motifs, and the solid gold dial features a floral embossed decoration
