PICARD CADET - Men’s Chronograph















PICARD CADET - Men’s Chronograph NEW



2013 marks the return of Picard Cadet Genève
Life, time and emotion are the core values that drive the new team, in the finest tradition of Swiss savoir-faire. Each of the twelve models in the collection is assembled by hand. What makes them stand out? A round case under a tonneau bezel, exemplified by this men's chronograph, an imposing 48mm diameter, that testifies to the brand's longstanding experience in jewellery design combined with the striking engineering of a multi-level dial. The chronograph counters take position at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, leaving ample space for the brand and its logo.
This completes the visual signature of Picard Cadet Genève which now defines every model in the collection.
