Utterly Classical. And Sufficiently Precious.

I believe women who choose a complicated, manual-wound timepiece are true watch enthusiasts. This is a model for those who are truly committed. Its beauty is captivating from the first glance.

The chronograph for women born in 2009, popularly known as the "Ladies First Chronograph," featured a cushion case. It had pavé diamonds filling the gap between the case and the round dial. The newly reborn model, however, has a round case form itself. A single row of diamonds encircles the bezel, creating a sleek elegance.

The case is designed to be a vessel, understated to highlight the dial's aesthetic. Yet, details like the Art Deco-inspired lugs and the ornamentation on the tips of the push-pieces lend a sharp, refined impression.



Meanwhile, looking at the dial, one notices the rich details, such as the puffed Breguet hands and the concentric machine engraving on the subdials. Furthermore, the pulsometer on the outer edge of the dial evokes the charm of classic chronographs.

The Breguet numeral indices are applied in rose gold. Each part is crafted separately, with feet extending through the back of the dial and riveted. This process creates three-dimensional indices, lending a rich expression through meticulous craftsmanship.

In essence, traditional handcrafting techniques are reproduced in their original form for the modern era. Choosing this model is a statement of respect for watchmaking history and an appreciation for its heritage.



The case back reveals the complex gear train characteristic of a chronograph. Unlike automatic chronographs, there is no rotor obstructing the view, allowing the intricate mechanism to be fully appreciated. This is another advantage of manual-wound movements, I believe.

Finally, a personal thought: in today's trend of smaller watch sizes, I believe this model would appear quite avant-garde if worn by a man.
