THE RD780 CALIBRE

As a Flyback, this calibre is already at a sophisticated standard of savoir-faire, enabling the instantaneous restarting of the timer function while the chronograph is running.

We have fully integrated the chronograph complication into the movement. This highly technical approach bestows more creativity on the watchmakers yet takes many more months to complete and is far more demanding in the context of a skeletonized calibre yet

Visible at 6 o’clock / Admirable from the front, the column wheel is an unmistakeable mark of exceptional watchmaking crafted to makes the pushers much smoother to operate. 

Compared to a horizontal design, the vertical clutch is more precise when starting the chronograph. Going even further, we have added an innovative Second Braking System (SBS), a world premiere component that decreases flicker and brings extra stability to the chronograph seconds hand.

The 120° Rotating Minute Counter (RMC) at 3 o’clock is unconventional, joyful, and so easy to read. Crafted with an unexpected isotoxal shape, the counter includes a patent-pending tripartite hand with the 0, 1 and 2, which rotates past the 0-9 digits on the right. 

With 72 hours of power reserve, this astonishing calibre includes a balance wheel tilted at 12°. This feature raises the level of inertia to ensure a strong resistance to everyday shocks, as well as the negative effects of gravity.

Hand-finished with meticulous care, the RD780 showcases a highly contrasted decoration, while meeting the requirements of the Poinçon de Genève - one of the most demanding certifications in fine watchmaking.
