About

Craftsmanship

Hundreds of individual components. Microscopic tolerances. One precise movement.

A bridge leaves the CNC oversized. It is then relieved, chamfered, and hand-polished on every visible face — including the faces no owner will ever see without a loupe and a screwdriver.

Tolerances across the going train are held to two hundredths of a millimetre. Beyond that figure, amplitude falls, rate scatters across positions, and a watch that measures time becomes a watch that estimates it.

Finishing

Every reference receives, at minimum:

  • Hand-bevelled bridge edges, polished to a mirror
  • Circular graining on the mainplate beneath the barrel
  • Straight-grained flanks on all steel components
  • Blued screws, heat-treated rather than chemically coloured
