Building stronger bridges. A rare skill these days.

The new C1 Loco Classic puts the extraordinary CW-003 movement into a refined dress watch, with completely redesigned bridges constructed from stainless steel rather than the usual rhodium-coated brass. Slimmer, rounder and more elegant than those of its C12 Loco sibling, they balance delicacy with the strength required to keep the movement’ s components precisely positioned and aligned as the mechanism beats away at 28,800 vibrations an hour. In full view, each set receives more than five hours of hand-finishing by our partners at APJ. Turns out strength and delicacy can find common ground.
Do your research.
