SUMMARY

Featuring a revolutionary movement, 8 years in development, the Élégante offers both quartz accuracy and extended battery life in a beautifully finished movement. The visible micro-rotor acts as a motion detector shutting down the hands after 35mins of inactivity, only for them to spring back to like and correct to the current time when the watch is moved again. This power economy has extended the battery life to 8-10 years of daily wear and 18yrs in standby mode. 

The titanium case is a combination of a classically styled dial and more modern case architecture, much like the movement within.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
