Chapter Three Timepiece

Indication-rich timepieces have always been a compromise between functionality and refinement . . . until Chapter Three Reveal.

Chapter Three Reveal is an elegant timepiece displaying central hours, and minutes; small seconds at 8 o'clock, date at 2 o'clock, and moon phase at 4 o'clock, all set on a sumptuous blue guilloche dial. But Chapter Three Reveal also has a couple of intimate secrets in reserve, to be revealed, and perhaps even shared, at the owner's pleasure.

A pusher set into the crown lowers and hides two hidden panels in the dial to reveal a second time zone indicator and a day/night indicator, both displayed on Maîtres du Temps' signature rollers. Elegant sophistication has never looked so good.
