Description

The Chronomètre Artisans seeks to merge elegance and audacity through contemporary lines inherited from the past. This exceptional timepiece, inspired by the ingenuity and refinement of 20th century watchmakers, offers a new expression of neo-classical watchmaking with complex mechanisms and lavishly meticulous decorations.

The Chronomètre Artisans stands out for its intense degree of finishing and exacting standards. It reveals a multitude of technical prowess, custom-made components and meticulous decorations, often applied by hand. Every detail is subtly drawn, contrasted and orchestrated to accentuate the sense of visual depth, like the finely bevelled, hand-polished edges of the three-quarter bridge, or the mirror-polished concave screws set in solid gold chatons.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
