Why a free-sprung balance keeps better time
Most movements set their rate with a regulator — a small lever that
shortens or lengthens the active hairspring. It is quick to adjust, and
quick to drift. A free-sprung balance does away with the lever
entirely. Rate is set instead by tiny weights on the balance rim,
turned a fraction at a time.
The result is a watch that holds its setting against shock and the slow
settling of years, and a balance that breathes evenly in every
position. It is slower to time on the bench — which is rather the point.

The light a chamfer catches
An anglage — the bevelled edge along a bridge — does nothing for how a
movement runs. We cut and polish it by hand anyway, because it is the
first place light gathers when the caseback turns to the window. A clean
bevel is the quiet signature of a piece finished without shortcuts.

One case, four temperaments
Blanc, Bleu, Slate, and Nuit share a single 39.5 mm case. What
changes is the dial — and with it, the whole character of the watch. Our
brand film runs the
four in sequence so you can watch each one hold the light differently.
