Description
This timekeeping organ takes the probable shape of a deep-sea being, appearing to move—almost levitate—between multiple planes. Its energy principle functions like the ballast system of a nautilus. Through its state of power reserve, it finds an equilibrium that propels it forward.
The Ballastograph signals positions that define the abstract substance of time. Like an indicator, it guides us through journeys akin to a navigational instrument.
THE BALLASTOGRAPH by Utinam Grande Horlogerie embodies the latest evolution of the suspended movement with self-balancing, patented by the Utinam Manufacture. This third-generation movement integrates the complication of a regulator and a retrograde minute.
Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
