The measure of a life

Two hundred and eleven hours of assembly. One movement, regulated by hand until it loses less than a second a day.

Calibre 11 · Genève
A mechanical watch movement with exposed bridges and jewels.

The movement

Two hundred and eleven parts, turning as one

An in-house automatic calibre beats at 28,800 vibrations an hour. The bridges are chamfered and polished where no owner will ever look, because the watchmaker will.

The materials

Gold that took a century to learn

The case is turned from a single billet of 18-karat champagne gold, then hand-finished across nine stages. The dial is lacquered in seven coats and fired between each.

Sealed against the deep, worn to dinner

A screw-down crown and a triple gasket hold the case to one hundred metres. It will outlast the occasion, and most likely the owner. That is rather the point.

“We do not make watches quickly. We make them once, so that no one need make them again.”
