- Movement and Complication
- The watch is powered by the automatic Calibre 581 DR movement. This mechanism is notable for its slender construction, measuring 3mm in thickness, which contributes to the overall low profile of the watch. The movement includes a tourbillon, a complication originally patented in 1801 by Abraham-Louis Breguet. The source notes that while the tourbillon was historically intended to address gravity-related inaccuracies in pocket watches, it serves as a tribute to fine watchmaking in this contemporary wristwatch.
- Dial and Case Construction
- The watch features a dial characterized by engine-turned patterns, described as a signature aesthetic for the maker. The display includes centered blued hands, a tourbillon cage located at the 5 o'clock position, and a power reserve indicator positioned at 8:30. The case measures 41mm in diameter and is designed with a slim profile of 7.1mm. The overall design incorporates decorative engravings on both the front and rear aspects of the watch. The piece is fitted with a dark, textured leather strap that integrates into the case lugs.
- Identification and Origins
- The watch is identified by the serial number 3191, which is prominently displayed on the dial. The source dates the production of this object to the 2020s.
