This timepiece is powered by an automatic mechanical movement made reliable and accurate by a generous power reserve and a Nivachron™ balance-spring. A true ode to fine watchmaking that draws on a long history of expertise, the Baroncelli Chronograph Moonphase nonetheless stays one step ahead of style on the wrists of the fashion-forward.

A breath of fresh air in fine watchmaking

The dazzling blue sunray satin finish dial of the Baroncelli Chronograph Moonphase lends a face to the intricate mechanism of this timekeeping wonder. The date – indicated on the flange by a central hand ending in a varnished blue crescent – is displayed against this navy backdrop, along with the day and month in a window on a counter with turquoise accents.

The calendar is completed by a moonphase display at 6 o'clock, where a moon and golden stars traverse a deep azure sky. This exceptional timepiece also includes a chronograph complication. The time is measured by a central seconds hand, a 30-minute counter and a 12-hour counter.

A third counter completes the display with a small seconds and the hours in a 24-hour format. For added elegance and contrast, all of the display elements stand out in silver: the edges of the counters, the markings, the faceted indexes and the diamond-polished and sand-blasted hands. A sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on both faces, ensures perfect readability.

A mechanical marvel

This new Baroncelli is housed in a gleaming 42 mm-diameter polished steel case that is water-resistant up to a pressure of 3 bar (30 m/100 ft). Two polished push-buttons on the flanks are used to operate the chronograph as desired. The transparent sapphire case back reveals the painstakingly decorated components of the Calibre 60.

This highly reliable Swiss automatic movement – with a power reserve of up to 60 hours and calendar, moonphase and chronograph complications – is remarkably accurate thanks to its high-tech balance-spring in Nivachron™, an innovative material that helps to reduce the impact of magnetic fields while offering shock-resistance.

A contemporary successor to the great Swiss watchmaking tradition, this calibre features refined finishes: blued screws, Côtes de Genève and a logo engraved on the oscillating weight.

 A 2ND PARTICIPATION

We are delighted and honored to be participating for the second time in the Only Watch charity auction to be held on November 5th, 2023 in Geneva.

An event that unites the watch industry around a common goal: to raise awareness and funds for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy

UNDER ANOTHER NAME

On this occasion, we are pleased to present our new fine watchmaking studio, Baltic Experiments, with this unique Premier Quantième Perpétuel. Over the past two years, we've been pushing our own boundaries by doing what previously seemed impossible: developing our own Perpetual Calendar module.

This project finally became a reality thanks to the collaboration with the talented watchmakers of Maclef, founded by Emmanuel Bouchet.

PERPETUAL CALENDAR

We aimed to establish a timeless, easily legible method of presenting all the essential elements of a Perpetual Calendar. The meticulously balanced dial features three sub-registers to indicate the day of the week, month, leap year and moon phase, accompanied by a continuous seconds hand.

The day of the month is indicated by the third main hand and is positioned towards the outer edge of the watch, harmoniously completing the overall aesthetic.

 ANIMATED BY A UNIQUE MOVEMENT

The heart of the Premier Quantième Perpétuel is the result of over two years of research and development in collaboration with the experienced watchmakers of the Maclef company.

The in-house module, enabling the perpetual calendar to function, is implemented in a Vaucher 5401 micro-rotor movement whose bridges have been reworked.

AN ULTRA-SLIM 9.8 mm CASE

For two years, we pushed our own boundaries by achieving something we never thought possible: developing our own Perpetual Calendar.

The case of the Premier Quantième Perpétuel is made of stainless steel and Grade 5 titanium. It is 37mm in diameter, 44mm lug to lug and has a slim, elegant 9.8mm profile.

The meticulously balanced dial incorporates three distinct sub-registers to indicate the days, month, leap year, and a moon-phase in silicium material, with a continuous second hand at 6 o’clock. The prominent pointer date harmoniously complements the overall aesthetic, positioned towards the outer edge of the watch.

Starting from a blank page, this modular perpetual calendar was 100% reinterpreted and run by the ultra-thin Vaucher 5401 micro-rotor movement. The idea was to make the passage of days to the end of the month as quick as possible.

Therefore, moving the date functions like a sonnerie system. The date will change from the 28th, 29th, 30th to the 1st of the following month in around 1 to 4 seconds.
