Not only did this top-notch Swiss brand create an all-new movement for the Duometre Heliotourbillon Perpetual watch, but it also developed an all-new 34-part 44mm case to showcase its sophisticated mechanics and alluring aesthetics. The watch also boasts an all-new tourbillon construction featuring three axes, each of which rotates at a different speed for visual impact, as well as high-precision timekeeping. The manually wound in-house-made Caliber 388 offers hours, minutes, seconds, the Heliotourbillon, perpetual calendar (day, date, month and year) and moonphase indication to the year 2100. It also features an oversized Grand Date. The movement can be sent backward or forward without affecting the perpetual calendar — something that cannot be done with most perpetual calendar watches. Crafted in 18K pink gold, it offers two barrels, each with a power reserve of 46 hours and each with its own indication on the dial for a harmonious appeal.
