At its heart is the patented monobloc sapphire gong, chiming with the passing of each hour for a refined auditory experience. The 40mm stainless steel case is remarkably slim at just 9.86mm, with a pusher seamlessly integrated into the crown.

Chronometer-certified and bearing the prestigious Poinçon de Genève hallmark, it exemplifies precision and exceptional finishing. - The pink salmon dial, adorned with a hand-guilloché honeycomb motif, is a visual masterpiece. A cut-out at one o’clock reveals the mirror-polished hammer responsible for the chime, while a railway-style minutes track engraved on the sapphire crystal adds vintage charm. Beneath it lies the monobloc sapphire gong, completing the harmonious design. - Striking precisely at 12 o’clock, the chiming mechanism sounds 24 times a day, blending technical ingenuity with timeless elegance. Delivered in November 2024, this virtually unworn example is accompanied by its original accessories—a true collector’s treasure.
