A visible one-minute tourbillon regulator is positioned at 6 o'clock under a polished steel bridge. The time is indicated by blued steel feuille hands. Power is provided by a manual-wind Caliber 13 1/2''' movement, which is rhodium-plated and hand-engraved, featuring 21 jewels, a lateral lever escapement with a three-arm polished steel tourbillon cage, a monometallic balance, and a self-compensating Breguet balance-spring.
