Grande Reverso Night & Day

In Context

At 27.4 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. At 9.1 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. Its 38-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

3808420 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver guilloche dial with a stainless steel case.

Mechanical automatic winding movement, 200 parts, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 42-hour power-reserve.
