Traditionnelle Tourbillon Chronograph Excellence Platine

In Context

At 42.5 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 11.7 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. 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. 65 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 18,000 vph the seconds hand advances 5 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

5100T/000P-H041 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver matte dial with a platinum case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph and a tourbillon.

Manual wind chronograph movement with tourbillon escapement, launched in the Harmony collection in 2015.
