The Chronomètre Optimum contains a majority of exceptional components, here brought together for the first time in a watch: 2 barrels in parallel, the constant force remontoire, the revolutionary new high-performance bi-axial EBHP escapement, and natural dead-beat seconds. Due to these extraordinary technical achievements, this watch achieves the feat of telling time with near-perfect accuracy.
The aesthetics of the hour, minutes, and small seconds displays and the 70-hour power reserve harmonize perfectly with the wheel of the remontoire, visible on the dial. The sapphire case back reveals the 18K rose gold movement, with its surprising natural dead-beat seconds framed by the seconds circle screwed to the movement’s bridges.
