In previous steel versions, it relied on a steel click spring. However, with this ceramic one, the brand swapped it for a steel ball bearing and compression spring mechanism to grant it its “tactile, well-indexed rotation.”
To take things a step further, the brand was also sure to make the whole timepiece modular and repairable. There are no press-fit pieces or glue. The entire housing and all components can be taken apart.
Cutsey on the streets, a technical marvel in the sheets
The reimaginging and reengineering of the brand’s signature rotating case is only one of the watch’s impressive bits. The moonphase disc below the dial also went through a complete redesign.
The brand had to figure out how to maintain the proper color blue without losing the 3D effect of the etching. Now, it requires an intensive nine-step process to produce, including applying its vibrant SuperLuminova glow.
