The Atelier de Chronométrie #88 is a very special timepiece because of its new movement enhancements that are harmonically supported by an exotic Sector dial with Arabic numerals which, for the first time, is presented in a new re-designed stainless steel case.
The movement is based on the same calibre as our other timepieces, the Omega 266, but with enhancements such as a new free sprung balance wheel regulated by 6 masselottes made in 18k rose gold, an own fourth wheel and a lowered escape wheel bridge made of carbon steel. The frequency has been changed from 18.000 b.p.h. to 21.600 b.p.h. to greater accuracy.
- 44 parts are completely handmade without using CNC milling machines.
- The rest of the calibre parts are modified and decorated by hand using artisanal tools and methods.
- The calibre finish includes techniques such as matte frosting, as well as hand beveling, black polish, anglage, perlage, etc.
- Each movement is reinvented each time for each customer, changing technically and aesthetically.
Soon we will announce a special deal to acquire The Atelier de Chronométrie watches at a special discount from The Owl In The Eye.
