  2. Carl F. Bucherer
    Chronograph with complications.

    The name of this watch is encrypted with two main features - the presence of a perpetual calendar module with a traditional set of functions for this complication: date, day of the week, month, leap year, moon phases and flyback chronograph. Such mechanisms are extremely complex and rightfully fall into the highest category of “grand complication”. The hour and minute counters of the chronograph are located at “6” and “9 o’clock”, the moving second hand is at the “12 o’clock” position. Visual differentiation of pointers is achieved using thin dividing lines in black. The case with a diameter of 42.5 mm and a height of 14.3 mm is made of 18 ct pink gold or stainless steel, equipped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The case back is made of sapphire crystal.

The central hand of the chronograph with a small red contour of the aircraft on the counterweight shows seconds, and the small white hand on the auxiliary dial at the 12 o’clock position counts the minutes.
    The small red second hand at the 6 o'clock position indicates that the clock is operating normally. Thanks to the “stop” function, it can be stopped in order to set the time on the watch to the nearest second. The 46 mm light ceramic case is watertight at pressures up to 6 bar. The buttons and crown are made of titanium, and the convex sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant and protected from sudden pressure drops in the cockpit.
