Hybris Artistica Mystérieuse Pink Gold / Aventurine

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

52224X8 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue dial with a pink gold case. It was a limited edition.

Caliber 941A is a automatic movement by Jaeger-LeCoultre. It contains 452 components.
