Description
With a gentle hint of nostalgia, the Seconde Française model, reference 19.24, is distinguished by its classic aesthetic and nods to the Maison’s creative past.
Comprised of a 39 mm case with alternating polished and brushed surfaces, the crown at 3 o’clock is hidden to maintain overall symmetry and to accentuate the dial.
The dial, grained or enameled, is adorned with fine railway scales and 18th-century-style Indo-Arab numerals, topped by a double-domed sapphire crystal.
The reinterpreted leaf hands, run the length of the dial for enhanced precision. The weightless floating second hand, completes the piece and takes center stage with its elusive je ne sais quoi.
Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
