TORQUE LIMITING CROWN
MAIN FEATURES (MANY OF WHICH ARE MAJOR TECHNICAL
INNOVATIONS)

which could cause damage to the winding stem or putting extreme
pressure on the mainspring barrel. The crown is set with precious
stones or semi-precious stones depending on the version.
POWER RESERVE
BARREL PAWL WITH PROGRESSIVE RECOIL
Circa 48 hours. This function is displayed using a newly designed

is an unique piece. It took many hours and extremely precise work to
engrave by hand the scales of these two exceptional jewellery pieces.
