The shape of the banners so often reproduced on Claude Meylan's watch farms shutters inspired the Tortue de Joux watch. The transparencies, such as sunbeams, plays with the contrasts of the matching colours in the bridges and bottom plates. Each hole is recessed, completely decorated and in a harmony of particular shapes; the result is an intriguing transparency and light.
In the middle of the piece of work, dressed with rhodium, the hour and minutes wheels carry the hands into an infinite ballet.

The watch comes in a 40 mm case in steel. It is completed with an alligator way, square scales strap.
