Even invisible components, such as the underside of bridges, are crafted with a circular grain, a testament to the respect for the watchmakers who assemble them and the art of watchmaking in its entirety.
Crafted in white gold, the micro-rotor is finely engraved by hand along its edge and surface. Its hammered texture, magnified by a layer of translucent enamel, highlights the precision and depth of traditional craftsmanship.

A movement’s true value lies equally in the mastery of its maker
and the refinement of its finishing.
The automatic caliber DCR-01 reveals a perfectly symmetrical architecture, anchored by a central chaton. Around it, four distinct circles, tourbillon, micro-rotor, and twin barrels, form a harmonious, purposeful composition.
Design and architecture
Three parallel bridges shape the movement’s architecture, their hidden screws preserving a pure, contemporary aesthetic. Every component is finished entirely by hand by master artisans, using traditional tools and time-honoured methods without the slightest compromise.
