Description
At first glance, the Récital 15 whispers. Time moves in a graceful arc, its retrograde minute hand tracing a measured path with quiet precision. Then, at the very instant the hour ends, everything changes.
In a fleeting, perfectly orchestrated ballet, the minute hand snaps back to its origin as the jumping hour advances in a single, decisive motion. What appears effortless is, in truth, a moment of extraordinary complexity — a choreography of tension, release, and absolute control, repeated 24 times a day with unwavering precision.
Within this instantaneous transformation lies the soul of the Récital 15: a watch that does not merely indicate time, but performs it — where each hour is not passed, but unveiled.
The challenge for the jumping hour and retrograde minute is to manage the power of the hourly jump, and to make sure that it all occurs instantaneously. It would not pass if the minute hand snaps back before the hour disk, or vice versa.
Paired with this complex movement is a beautiful salmon lacquer dial, a very unique color.
