Your Passport to Haute Horlogerie

Discover the new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture, a masterpiece of Haute Horlogerie that combines an essential travel function with a striking aesthetic.

The beating heart of this model is its magnificent dial designed in authentic blue Lapis Lazuli stone. For the first time, lapis lazuli is used both on the main part of the dial and on the decentralized date display at six o’clock. This spectacular mineral base is highlighted by a white city ring displaying the 24 main time zones. Its day/night indicator is calibrated over 24 hours, with the day (silvered) and night (blue) naturally separated into two sections. For optimal readability, even in the dark, the applied indices and the hour and minute hands are silvered and filled with a white luminous treatment.

At the core of the watch beats the FC-718 Manufacture automatic calibre, a movement entirely developed and assembled in-house by us. This mechanism is particularly remarkable because all of its functions — hours, minutes, seconds, date by hand at 6 o’clock, and worldtimer — are adjustable via the single crown, simplifying use for the modern traveler.

The movement is a demonstration of the watchmaking art, decorated with Perlage and circular Côtes de Genève finishes. It offers a reliable 38-hour power reserve. The threaded case back is engraved and transparent, allowing you to admire the mechanism in action.

This model is a limited edition of only 718 pieces. The individual number of this edition is engraved both on the movement and on the case back, guaranteeing its unique character.

The 3-part polished stainless steel case has an ideal diameter of 42 mm. It is protected by an anti-reflective convex sapphire crystal. The watch is fitted with an elegant dark blue alligator leather strap with off-white stitching, secured by a folding clasp.
