Métiers d'Art Kalla Flame

In Context

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. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. Its 35-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops.

17621/000G-9478 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a paved dial with a white gold case.

Rectangular movement with back winding; size 6.20 * 17.40 mm, based on JLC 101.
