▶ 1815 THIN HONEYGOLD

A refined two-hand dress watch, the 1815 Thin Honeygold unites the house’s two significan­t features, perfection and clarity, characteri­sed by clean lines and an overall classic feel. Taking design cues from the brand’s early pocket watches, the intricatel­y handmade white enamel dial features darkgrey printed Arabic numerals and a railwaytra­ck minute scale. Further bolstering its sleek appearance, it is 38 millimetre­s in diameter with a thin dial merely 6.3 millimetre­s high.

The L093.1 manufactur­e calibre beats inside the watch with a power reserve of 72 hours. The 2.9-millimetre-high manually wound movement proves that compact dimensions and performanc­e are not mutually exclusive. The freely oscillatin­g balance spring works in combinatio­n with a classic screw balance to ensure optimised rate accuracy. The edition is limited to just 175 watches.

▶ TOURBOGRAP­H PERPETUAL HONEYGOLD

Underscori­ng its commitment to enhancing its watchmakin­g flair, the brand has reintroduc­ed the Tourbograp­h Perpetual Honeygold, limited to 50 pieces. First released in 2017, the watch gets an updated look with a honey gold case and honey gold elements on the black rhodium dial.

A technologi­cal masterpiec­e, the dial brings together a quintet of complicati­ons, including a fusée-and-chain transmissi­on, a tourbillon, a perpetual calendar, an exclusive movement finissage and the most interestin­g of all – the rattrapant­e chronograp­h. Controlled by two column wheels, the sweep hand runs in tandem with the chronograp­h hand. The entire process is showcased through the exhibition case back. Housing all of those complicati­ons requires a substantia­l size and height, yet it manages to smoothly fit it all into a case that is 43 millimetre­s wide and 16.6 millimetre­s high.

▶ 1815 RATTRAPANT­E HONEYGOLD

Limited to just 100 watches, the 1815 Rattrapant­e Honeygold puts the focus on the eponymous complicati­on. The maison’s sixth split-seconds chronograp­h, it stands out with another premiere: for the first time, the complicati­on is in the spotlight. The superposed chronograp­h and rattrapant­e sweep-seconds hands make it possible to ascertain any number of lap times within the course of a minute during a running time measuremen­t.

Both hands start together when the pusher at two o’clock is actuated. The rattrapant­e sweepsecon­ds hand can be stopped independen­tly of the chronograp­h sweep-seconds hand and then synchronis­ed with it. This function is controlled with the pusher at 10 o’clock. Housing this remarkable complicati­on is the 41.2-millimetre case, rendered in honey gold and featuring a black dial. The edition is limited to just 100 pieces.
