01. BLACK-POLISHED ANGLAGE

Every bridge chamfer is hand-lapped using diamond micro-pastes on gentian wood pegs for 40 hours.

02. TOURBILLON CAGE

Featherweight Grade 5 titanium cage weighing under 0.28 grams to counter gravitational timing drift.

03. CHATON BEDDING

Synthetic olive-cut rubies seated within solid white-gold chatons for friction-free arbor rotation.

01. ISOMER DUAL-BARREL

Twin series-coupled spring barrels distribute tension evenly, completely eliminating the rapid amplitude drop common in single-barrel movements.

02. 312° AMPLITUDE PEAK

Maintains balance wheel swing amplitude above 298° throughout all 72 hours, insulating the escapement from shock-induced timing errors.

03. CHRONOMETRIC CERTIFIED

Observed under continuous dynamic testing in Geneva. Strict compliance with ISO 3159 chronometer precision benchmarks.
