Chronograph


A single push-piece chronograph with an exceptional mechanism
One of the most difficult complications to master, the single push-piece chronograph is one of the subtlest expressions of watchmaking skill. Combined with a tourbillon regulator, it becomes a truly exceptional timepiece.
Its case, water-resistant to 30 metres, is crafted from 18 carat, 3N yellow gold that is reminiscent of period watches and houses the impressive BAD1602 calibre with manual winding. This single push-piece chronograph tourbillon movement includes a 60 second and 30 minute counter, positioned respectively between one and two o’clock, and between ten and eleven o’clock. Visible through the transparent caseback and dial opening, the meticulous finishes – bevelling, circular-graining and Geneva ribbing decorations – tactfully reveal the added value of this luxury timepiece.
