  • WW1-92 MILITARY

    Overview

    The Vintage WW1 (Wrist Watch 1) pays tribute to the first wristwatches worn by pilots in the 1920s. It features a distinctive large fob-watch type diameter, wire lugs welded to the sides of the watch to give the impression of horns and a thin leather strap, elegant yet strong.
    With its mat grey steel housing and distressed strap, the Military model is the authentic, military version of the WW1. Its reading is inspired by the so-called navigation or observation military aviator watches: the graduation emphasizes the minutes on the large face.

    TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

    Movement: mechanical automatic.
    Functions: hours, minutes, seconds.
    Case: diameter 45 mm. Blasted steel.
    Dial: galvanic black, sunburst, domed. Numerals, index and hands covered in a photo-luminescent coating.
    Crystal: anti-reflective domed sapphire.
    Water resistance: 50 metres.
    Strap: distressed calfskin.
    Clasp: pin buckle. Blasted steel.

  • WW1 HEURE SAUTANTE PLATINUM

    Overview

    This complication is unusual in that it displays the hours in the form of numerals viewed through a large fixed aperture. The hour hand is replaced by a rotating disc on which the hours are printed. The digits jump instantly when the hour changes. The window, located at 12 o’clock, is perfectly aligned with the single central minute hand and the power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock, arranging the information by order of importance. The power reserve indicator becomes particularly useful since the mechanism triggering the «jump» in the hours requires power. It gives the user an indication of the remaining power, which is vital for the smooth functioning of the movement. This indicator is displayed in an easily legible semi-circular window at 6 o’clock.
    The Vintage WW1 Heure Sautante Platinum features a second window for the power reserve indicator. Its opaline grey and silvered dial in 18K gold with its hand-applied guilloché decoration and pear-shaped blue-steel hand lend it a timeless elegance.

    TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

    Movement: jumping hour, mechanical automatic.
    Functions: Hours indicator (window at 12 o’clock), minutes (central hand) and power reserve (at 6 o’clock).
    Case: diameter 42 mm. Polished platinum. Sapphire caseback.
    Dial: opaline grey and silvered dial in 18K gold hand-applied guilloché decoration.
    Glass: anti-reflective sapphire.
    Water-resistance: 100 m.
    Straps: grey alligator.
    Buckle: pin buckle. Platinum.
