The movement we used for this watch is our own in-house deve- loped and patented Grand Tourbillon Xtreme Precision 1, one of the most accurate TB movements in the world.




Then, on special request, we have worked with master engraver Bernhard Ditzoff to develop the 18k white gold dial, which is an engraved 3-D interpretation of the official poster used for the Monaco Grand Prix 1965. just the hand engraving of the dial alone took over 80 hours of sculpturing, leaving the car coming out in contrast!
