Design
- Case and Dial
- The wristwatch is housed in a case manufactured from 5N red gold. The dial presents in a slate grey finish, featuring applied indices and a sub-seconds dial situated at the 6 o'clock position. The dial arrangement includes a date window at 3 o'clock and a specific aperture at 9 o'clock intended for tracking a second time zone via a 24-hour home time display. Two push-pieces are integrated into the left side of the case band. These components facilitate the adjustment of the local time by enabling the hour hand to jump in single-hour increments, allowing for changes to be made without affecting the 24-hour home time setting.

- Movement and Escapement
- The timepiece is powered by a proprietary automatic movement designated as caliber LF 230.02. The mechanism utilizes a micro-rotor system for self-winding. A technical feature of this movement is the incorporation of a natural escapement with a double direct-impulse system, designed for increased efficiency in energy transmission. The movement is decorated and finished in a manner consistent with high-end horology. It is jeweled with 41 synthetic stones and has been adjusted to function precisely across six distinct positions. The internal components are viewable through a transparent case back.
