This is entirely impressive and slots well into a type of independent horology that fell a bit by the wayside as we lived through the age of demand for three-hand watches like Simplicity, Chronomètre Contemporain II, and others. The sweeping ceramic display, central balance, and symmetrical design do create an aesthetic that (together) looks a bit like a De Bethune.
But there’s something slightly more artisanal about it. The case itself is an interesting and complex construction, which is a good antedote to many early independent releases that lack in case design. The compact measurements are impressive as well. Most importantly, the CHF 84,000 price feels fair compared to recent prices for other independents on the market, especially given its complexity. I’m hoping I’ll get to see one in person so I can bring you a Hands-On. Stay tuned.
