Notes

This certified chronometer was produced in a limited edition of 999 pieces. It features a revolutionary new coaxial escapement invented by George Daniels. This escapement, enhanced by a free spiral balance wheel, reduces friction between parts and transfers energy to other components. Theoretically, this movement should require less maintenance and provide greater precision on a long term basis.
