Combining the intricacy of a tourbillon movement and the charm of the regulator dial, this wristwatch is a modern masterpiece with strong ties to the early days of industrial watchmaking. Indeed, the regulator configuration, with the minute hand prominently featured on the dial, and the hour hand secluded to its subsidiary counter, was used by watchmakers to precisely set the time of other watches.
