The remarkable timepiece pays tribute to the genius of Abraham-Louis Perrelet, who invented the first winding system based on a central rotor 230 years ago. The skeletonised movement of this limited piece is an art aside. By way of an extremely laborious process, a master craftsman goes to the limit of removing as much material from the movement parts but stopping at the point which still allows the movement to function. Thus the wearer is offered an inhibited and direct view into the intricacies of the chronograph movement.

The chronograph movement, P-231, allows to precisely measure the lapsed time between two events. By simply pressing on the reset button, the time is returned to zero.

This remarkable movement is set in a fantastic case which proudly has the same features as the titanium collection, but is made of a combination of white and rose gold. The carefully decorated rotor with the signature Perrelet “P” is visible through the open case back.
