WORLDTEMPUS - 12 January 2012

The design remains resolutely classic thanks to Eric Giroud and allows the connoisseur to see with just one glance what this wristwatch offers besides the basic time: the display of a second time zone. Understated and elegant, this 42.5 stainless steel beauty made just for travelers will make its debut at Geneva Time Exhibition, which opens its doors at the Espace Hippomène on Sunday, January 15.
Classic caliber
This new caliber designed by Karsten Frässdorf measures 38.3 mm in diameter and 6.1 mm in height. Its patented elements include the company's own Vivax precision balance, the Sectator mechanism for fine regulation of the escapement and the Tenere balance cock. The second time zone display is found at 12 o'clock: its jump hour makes an immediate switch and allows synchronization in just a few seconds.
