The watch

Most watches make do with one balance. This one has two, swinging in opposite directions, and a differential at 12 o’clock to settle their differences.

The Calibre 8 was built with master watchmaker Bernhard Lederer, hence the name Complicité. All 293 parts are laid open: the main plate is grained and PVD-treated light blue, two sapphire bridges hold rubies in gold chatons, and the power reserve shows between the two balances.

It is wound by hand, beats at 3 Hz and runs for 72 hours. The 41.8 mm case is Pt 950 platinum with sandblasted, hollowed-out lugs, 13.3 mm on the wrist and water resistant to 50 m.

On alligator leather with a platinum pin buckle. Limited to 10 pieces, each numbered.
