An event that unites the watch industry around a common goal: to raise awareness and funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy

UNDER ANOTHER NAME

On this occasion, we are pleased to present our new fine watchmaking studio, Baltic Experiments, with this unique Premier Quantième Perpétuel. Over the past two years, we've been pushing our own boundaries by doing what previously seemed impossible: developing our own Perpetual Calendar module.

This project finally became a reality thanks to the collaboration with the talented watchmakers of Maclef, founded by Emmanuel Bouchet.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR

We aimed to establish a timeless, easily legible method of presenting all the essential elements of a Perpetual Calendar. The meticulously balanced dial features three sub-registers to indicate the day of the week, month, leap year and moon phase, accompanied by a continuous seconds hand.

The day of the month is indicated by the third main hand and is positioned towards the outer edge of the watch, harmoniously completing the overall aesthetic.

 ANIMATED BY A UNIQUE MOVEMENT

The heart of the Premier Quantième Perpétuel is the result of over two years of research and development in collaboration with the experienced watchmakers of the Maclef company.

The in-house module, enabling the perpetual calendar to function, is implemented in a Vaucher 5401 micro-rotor movement whose bridges have been reworked.

AN ULTRA-SLIM 9.8 mm CASE

For two years, we pushed our own boundaries by achieving something we never thought possible: developing our own Perpetual Calendar.

The case of the Premier Quantième Perpétuel is made of stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium. It is 37mm in diameter, 44mm lug to lug and has a slim, elegant 9.8mm profile.

The meticulously balanced dial incorporates three distinct sub-registers to indicate the days, month, leap year, and a moon-phase in silicium material, with a continuous second hand at 6 o’clock. The prominent pointer date harmoniously complements the overall aesthetic, positioned towards the outer edge of the watch.

Starting from a blank page, this modular perpetual calendar was 100% reinterpreted and run by the ultra-thin Vaucher 5401 micro-rotor movement. The idea was to make the passage of days to the end of the month as quick as possible.

Therefore, moving the date functions like a sonnerie system. The date will change from the 28th, 29th, 30th to the 1st of the following month in around 1 to 4 seconds.
