Exquisite Craftsmanship and Design

The Heart of a Legend: Caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H
Powering this exceptional timepiece is the renowned self-winding movement, the Caliber CH 28-520 IRM QA 24H. This proprietary mechanism is the engine behind its twin grand complications: a flyback chronograph for precise short-time measurements and an annual calendar that intuitively knows the length of every month except February, requiring just one correction per year. The watch also features a day, month, and date display, along with a moon phase indicator—all visible through the sapphire-crystal case back, inviting you to admire the exquisite Geneva striping and beveling of the movement itself.
