Two independent barrels feed this mechanical wonder with a power reserve of 65 hours. One barrel drives the going train to the escape wheel, regulated by a free-sprung balance on a Breguet type overcoil. The second barrel keeps the transmission escapement on the dial under tension. This escapement snaps forward every fifteen seconds to replicate what goes on in the other escapement five times a second. The center wheel of the first train rotates an elliptical triangle, which turns in the lever fork on the dial, swinging it aside every fifteen seconds to unlock and lock the double escape wheel. The slow motion makes it possible to finally observe the operation and the detail of a Swiss anchor escapement by its carrier. Every moment will be an enthusiasm for discovery and captivation. Every detail has been taken into account for watchmaking excellence, technical and mechanical reliability, aesthetics embellished by high horological decoration finishes.

All of these highly engineered components are set in a 44mm technical case with pure and elegant lines Contrast comes in 4 combinations of white and black finishing. The case is sandblasted titanium with different iterations of terminations. The latter receives an ADLC treatment (amorphous diamond-like carbon) that makes it resistant to shocks, scratches and gives it a high-tech side.
With "Complication One Contrast", Emmanuel Bouchet writes a new era of his future collections in Haute Horlogerie, the new models will appeal to collectors and fans of timeless and exceptional mechanical watches.
