With its patented EasyScroll® system, v-tec Sigma®’s multiple functions can be used intuitively rather than manually.

Pierre DeRoche: GrandCliff TNT BelCanto

While the Dubois Dépraz watchmakers set to work on restoring and reassembling these movements, Pierre Dubois contacted one of the most innovative artisans in the field of dial-making. This encounter gave rise to a stunning sapphire crystal dial serving to admire the wealth of the historical movement: sandblasted on the dial side, and then metalized by PVD on the smoked parts. The voluminous hour-markers were then made by galvanic growth and colored by 4N gold plating. This masterpiece was then housed within an imposing 55.5mm rose gold case with a highly contemporary design. Limited edition of three magnificent watches.
