EXCEPTIONAL COUNTER-CLOCKWISE HAND SETTING MECHANISM TO SAFEGUARD THE MOVEMENT
An innovative and modern dial interpretation that breaks away from traditional regulator styles. The blu Quartett highlights a rhodium-plated watch face with an engine-turned finish that is manufactured on separate levels. The long central seconds-hand smartly taps out the seconds as it makes its way around the dial. The hour sub-counter positioned at 12 o’clock comes doted with Roman numerals at 3 and 9 o’clock.
A new three-dimensional retrograde minute indicator at 6 o’clock forms an arc over the large date display. Raised at a 7° angle, the minutes-hand jumps back to the zero position every hour after completing its 120° trajectory. The final design detail - deeply engraved minute indexes on the minute flange rim indicate the passage of time in 10-minute increments.
An exceptional counter-clockwise hand-setting function: By turning the crown anti-clockwise, the minutes-hand remains on the “0” position while the hour hand continues to move backwards until the desired time is reached. The precise minute position can be set by turning the crown forwards. This simple operation allows counter-clockwise time setting without modifying the date or harming the movement.
