Know-how and tradition meet and merge under the impetus of Fabien Lamarche and his “collective” of experts. Manufacture 1528 revisits the classic three-hand watch and adds a rare function: a service indicator. An oil drop appears through an enamelled gold aperture at 12 o’clock, indicating the need for a maintenance service. Other exclusive feature lies in the fact that all the main movement parts are machined from solid gold and then hand-decorated. The dial motif – a modern interpretation of the steeple clocks on Renaissance churches – is crafted in grand feu enamel. This model is issued in 28-piece limited series per version: yellow gold, red gold, white gold or platinum
