Signature design

Cobalt chrome offers a higher resistance than stainless steel, while its ability of capturing light makes it appear even brighter than white gold. This material choice enhances the durability and aesthetics of the timepiece as the skeletonized architecture of the movement is enveloped in a striking blue hue honouring the natural appearance of cobalt. Depending on the light, this blue finish subtly changes shades, highlighting the astral signature and the Maison’s canvas for expressivity.  

Advanced performance

With 178 components, including 14 hand-finishes and certified by the Poinçon de Genève, the automatic RD720SQ calibre stands out for its advanced performance. Its optimized micro-rotor and diamond-coated silicon escapement wheel, combined with diamond-coated silicon pallet-stones, deliver remarkable efficiency and guarantee an impressive 72 hours of power reserve.
