Info
Continuation of the first mechanical wrist chronograph with a precision of 1/100th of a second, which had been introduced 2005 with the concept model Calibre 360 Concept Chronograph.
The Calibre 360 corresponds to a living organism with two hearts 2 escapements that allow a standard rate (28,800 A/h) under normal conditions, as well as an acceleration to top speed (360,000 A/h) in chronograph mode. Such precision requires a movement of more than 230 components, a significantly lighter and downsized balance spring and escapement (26% smaller in diameter than a conventional inertia), and no fewer than three world exclusive patents
