For the occasion, the award-winning, signature central chronograph movement, the Agengraphe, has been further developed to enable a dedicated 24-hour chrono function, making this watch the perfect chronometric tool for the most prestigious endurance races.

The watch’s lightweight titanium case is inspired by the use of titanium in the race car. The smooth golden ZRN coating of the case and the black details (bezel, winding crown and push buttons) complements the car’s livery.

The latest addition to the Track1 family features a new dial layout displaying an extra central scale for 24 hours chrono indications in addition to the outer one for minutes and seconds. The engraved checkers pattern and the applied three dimensional SINGER logo make the dial even more distinctive within Singer chronographs collection.

Time of day is shown by the constantly rotating ceramic discs in white, at the edge of the watch. The outermost disc marks the hours, while the inner discs indicated minutes past the hour. The two rotating discs are executed in Singer Racing White ceramic. A world premiere.

The Singer Track1 Endurance Edition chronograph will be available for preorder starting on May 22 nd 2023.

THE ENGINE UNDER THE BONNET

The AgenGraphe caliber powering the Singer Track1 stands apart from all previous chronograph movements. A decade in development, this groundbreaking piece of mechanical ingenuity redefines fundamental principles that have remained unchanged for decades.

The underlying idea that led to the invention of the AgenGraphe was to enhance the legibility of the chronograph – which is usually poor – with the use of small counters spread out across the dial.

Thanks to a radically new architecture, the AgenGraphe brings together all the chronograph functions in the center of the watch, allowing for an easy and intuitive reading of elapsed time. To further enhance legibility, the chronograph incorporates jumping minute and hour indicators.

To connect the chronograph mechanism to the timekeeping gear train, the AgenGraphe features an innovative clutch mechanism. The coupling is made horizontally which requires less space, yet it is made using friction, just like a vertical clutch.

The dial-side rotor (made possible because the hands are on a central axis) leaves an unimpeded view of the movement and its 477 meticulously hand-finished parts.

DUKE First Edition, 
a 8-pieces limited automatic "Clarity Tourbillon"
So mysterious, a transparent sapphire oscillating weight

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Quintessential and subtle! From the Luxembourg Grand Duchy to the historical watchmaking terroirs of the Swiss Jura Valley, DUKE's "Clarity Tourbillon" eulogizes absolute purity. Its powerful design is at the heart of the 2023 watchmaking agenda.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Expertise in Chronometry and Master Complications. The development of an in- house calibre, the 9600, for eight timepieces only, is a matter of entrepreneurship daring driven by passion for the extreme and the rare.

A strong message for collectors around the world and for some retail, very special players.

Manufacture 9600 Caliber, an ultra-silent mysterious rotor

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Right from the start, the DUKE brand has placed its timepiece among the greatest names in watchmaking. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

For there are only a few movements with the Tourbillon complication paired with the automatic winding complication.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Here, and this is quite specific, the oscillating weight is totally unnoticeable since it has been crafted in sapphire glass.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Even better, listening to the piece while waving it by ear, one needs a keen sense of hearing to perceive the to-and-fro of the rotating rotor that runs on ceramic ball bearings. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This oscillating weight, in a caliber beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (i.e. a frequency of 3 Hertz), is no less efficient since it is generating a self-removing energy whose power reserve covers 72 hours.

A free of gravity Tourbillon

The other remarkable transparency of this 8-piece ultra-limited series is its vivid design, which, from a 100-degree opening with softened edges, is a celebration of the complicated Tourbillon mechanism.

This horological complication and its floating cage provide a new perspective to Abraham-Louis Breguet's famous invention of over 200 years ago: a micromechanical structure that is performing its whole circumvolution every one minute, i.e. at a rate of 60 pulsations per minute.

Carbon fiber and grade 5 Titanium, individually hand-finished

The "DUKE Clarity Tourbillon" First Edition, with its touch of octogonality, is breathtaking. It merges the expertise of materials and the characteristic finishes of the horological craftsmanship. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Water-resistant to minus 50 meters (equal to 5 atmospheres), its case structure and its bottom flanks are made of titanium-carbon fiber, while its bezel, including the lugs, as well as its case back and its crown, are made of Grade 5 Titanium, a material whose machining requires some extra soul and skill.

The handmade finishes are then twirling in a subtle festival of visual effects.
