The Exquisite Hour Blue

The Maison renews itself by exploring for the first time the world of lyrical horological complications, with a timepiece adorned with a moon phase, coming to life under a moving starry sky.

With this edition “L’Heure Exquise", an enchanting celestial door reveals a ballet of stars dancing on a sapphire crystal to the rhythm of the seconds. Beneath this celestial waltz, two moons intertwine in a rhythmic you-and-me. They face each other in the night sky of the sunray disc, metamorphosing to the rhythm of the new X-Centric calibre.

For the first time, the moon phase is co-axially linked to the seconds wheel, under a dynamic and mesmerizing starry sky. A gear wheel with 59 cogs evokes the orbit of the Moon around the Earth, completing a full cycle of 29.5 days.

Encased in 18k rose gold, this model features a blue sand-blasted dial, with a polished and satin-finished flange. It defies symmetrical shapes, and is made up of five parts, three of which are in permanent rotation, in an anti-clockwise direction: the largest ring for the hours, the median for the minutes, the starry sapphire glass rotating to the rhythm of the seconds.

The hour and minute rings run smoothly across the dial, and a slight tilt of the numerals accentuates the movement of the discs, highlighting the passage of time. The trilobe, a universal and timeless architectural motif, serves as the indicator for the hours and minutes.
