This model features the brand’s iconic “circle within a square”
case. This highly worked skeletonised chronograph is available
as a limited edition of 250 pieces. It is an extremely sophisticated
experimental version of the BR 03-94.
Its case is made from a multi-material structure: PVD-coated
titanium, ceramic and rubber. These materials are used in
sports watchmaking, as well as in aeronautics and Formula 1®.
The two-material rocker pushers are reminiscent of the paddle
shifters on the steering wheel. A PVD-coated steel ring turns
around the bezel.
The open-worked dial reveals a highly sophisticated
skeletonised mechanism and its gears.
Produced in a limited edition of just 20 pieces, it is the Haute
Horlogerie offering within the range. A marvel of sophistication
and subtlety.
Its case is cut from titanium, a lightweight and resistant
material used in Formula 1®. Protected by ceramic elements, a
high-density rubber insert improves handling. The fixed bezel
houses the minute track, and the rotating ring features a “stop-
start” indication.
Its large calibre is regulated by a flying tourbillon with a variable
inertia balance. The barrel spring, with manual winding,
provides it with a power reserve of 100 hours (hand indicator).
The chronograph function, clearly visible on the dial side, is
driven by a mono-pusher that activates a column wheel and
the watch also features a 30-minute instantaneous counter.
