Chronomètre Contemporain ROSE PLATINUM
The Chronomètre Contemporain is the first watch in our founder’s collection, signed Rexhep Rexhepi. In terms of design, it is neo-classical in approach, distinguishing it from our main collection. A round case, with a subtly concave bezel and curved bevelled lugs, surrounds a grand feu enamel dial displaying the hours, minutes and seconds.
On the reverse, a transparent caseback reveals the hand-wound RR-01 calibre, strongly symmetrical in its construction and decorated with a variety of finishes. Particularly notable are the traditional barrel click, which draws attention to the single barrel holding 100 hours of power reserve, and the highly demanding mirror finish on the centre wheel bridge.
