With an uncompromising attention to detail.

This outstanding quality rests on the tiny silicon balance spring; an extremely thin coil that ensures the constant and precise rhythm of time. Exceptionally crafted to be harder, lighter and more durable than any traditional balance spring—just as the flight of an airplane depends on the fine balance of its wings. Utmost accuracy is guaranteed by the Chronometer certificate (COSC).
