Independent watchmaker Simon Brette’s second version of the Chronomètre Artisans comes in rose gold.
Presented in a 39 mm diameter x 10.5 mm thick rose gold case, the curve of the sapphire and bezel are perfectly integrated with the case and lugs of the Chronomètre Artisans, which you can see from the profile view.
Featuring a hand-wound manufacture movement with two parallel barrels that offer 72 hours of power reserve, a variable inertia balance wheel, and is lusciously decorated with Haute horology finishing techniques such as frosting, hand beveling, and polishing of the bevels, wheels, and jewel sinks.
The dial is crafted in rose gold with a black DLC coating that has been hand-decorated with a “Battle” motif and two-tone steel hands with gold-colored PVD coating and a mirror-polished front. It displays center hours and minutes, and small seconds between 9 and 10 o’clock.
Simon Brette timepieces have a distinctive and appealing look thanks to a good 39 mm case design combined with high-end finishing techniques (limited to 50 pieces) — that’s unsurprisingly already “sold out.”
