The timepiece is equipped with an in-house calibre featuring a unique “back-to-front” construction allowing one to admire its beauty and technicity from the front while reading the time, and stands out with a cherry-coloured minute flange and a cushion shape titanium case inspired by the pocket watch TP1 which was made in 2019 together by Kari and Venla Voutilainen for ONLY WATCH Charity Auction. On the case back, the same-coloured flange dial and second counter are hand-guilloché by the master artisans, adding a touch of elegance.

In terms of technique, the caliber features a very large balance wheel crafted in-house, allowing a perfect regulation of the watch within strict tolerances. To equip such a timepiece, a rare and unique balance-spring system has been used. The exterior of the spring has a typical Phillips overcoil, while the internal curve uses the little-known Grossmann curve, further increasing accuracy.

The movement is particularly remarkable due to its two escapement wheels, which provide a direct impulse to the balance through the roller/jewel. This innovative construction improves efficiency by requiring less energy than the Swiss lever escapement and allows for notable benefits, for everyday use, such as longevity, stability and a longer power reserve.
