Pierre DeRoche has created the first movement able to house six retrograde seconds mechanisms.

While this complication has been introduced to provide an element of fun, it also reveals a totally original approach : all the retrograde hands in this model are driven by gears rather than cams and, thanks to a strip-spring that has replaced the classical balance-spring system, return to their initial positions after “passing on the baton” to the next retrograde hand. This innovation facilitates adjustment and enhances shock resistance.



An exceptional movement in an exceptional case
While more than a year of tests was required to guarantee the technical excellence and reliability of the movement, the design also received considerable attention. One is immediately struck by the powerful character of the case.



Designed in several parts in a highly successful combination of different materials - titanium middle, steel bezel, and pink gold horns, crown-shield and crown - its construction highlights all Pierre Deroche's expertise. Limited to 21 pieces.
