Keen to adapt its models to our increasingly connected daily lives, the brand has integrated a “Faraday cage” into the case of the new Scientigraf Chrono. The concept is based on the idea of absorbing electromagnetic waves – watchmakers’ number-one enemy – by using a soft iron structure to protect the movement’s accuracy. In short, connected speakers, tablets and laptops are no longer detrimental to our precious timepieces. Aesthetically speaking, this model retains a beautiful vintage look, with two exquisitely finished counters standing out against the black dial, along with the triangle element featured on the hour-markers as well as on the tips of the hour and counter hands.
