A. Favre & Fils – Phoenix 10.3 - Twin Regulator With Differential Gear NEW
A sensorial experience of two hearts beating as one
A tribute to the works of Abraham-Louis Breguet and, closer to us, Philippe Dufour, the Phoenix 10.3 presents, on the dial side, the twin pulsation of oscillators that mutually compensate each other, averaging errors through a differential gear.

Phoenix 10.3 GATSBY
In the quest for precision, the twin regulator is a complication that finds its relevance in a wristwatch that must endure important gravitational stresses. Beyond its mechanical prowess, the three-dimensional architecture of the movement achieves the reconciliation of the parts with the whole.

The front stage is all about symmetry. We peal the layers down, showing the magic in motion, from the regulators dragging their escapements to the rotating differential gear. In the backstage, owner’s privilege, asymmetry fights back.

We take off with a wolf teeth ratchet wheel and its eagle shaped c lick and aircraft’s spring. We land on the other side of the differential gear train, mounted on a winged bridge, with non-conical satellite gears to limit the friction on the escapement.

Phoenix 10.3 HUGO
Three centuries of watchmaking history allow us to draw freely from different eras and tendencies. For this piece, we chose the golden years of the Roaring Twenties, where the angular geometry of art-deco followed the crazy curves of art-nouveau, an endless reservoir of mechanical inventions, architecture and fine arts.
We bring movement decoration, trimming work that became an art, into a new dimension.

We climb on progressive angles, on balcony “beach” chamfers and continued reliefs on different bridges. The front stage is all about symmetry. We peal the layers down, showing the magic in motion, from the regulators dragging their escapements to the rotating differential gear.

In the backstage, asymmetry fights back, beginning with a wolf teeth ratchet wheel and its eagle shaped click and aircraft’s spring, ending on the other side of the differential gear train, mounted on a winged bridge.

The movement DR 1500 decoration is elevated to a new dimension. We climb on progressive or balcony angles and continued reliefs on different bridges. The oscillators beat at 21,600 variations per hour and the twin parallel barrels offer up to 60 hours of power reserve.

History
An authentic record saved in the Neuchâtel State Archives establishes that on March 29, 1718, a contract was concluded between Abraham Favre and the master watchmaker Daniel Gagnebin in which the former commits to teach Abraham Favre the profession of watchmaker to the extent of his knowledge for a period of three years.
This document marks the beginning of the Favre watchmaking history. Another official document dated from 1737 then mentions his son, also named Abraham, as a master watchmaker. From the fourth generation on, the trade name of the firm becomes Abraham Favre & Fils, and the timepieces are subsequently signed with the brand "A. Favre & Fils", symbol of the origin and the continuity.
