The white porcelain dial is adorned with crisp printed black Roman numerals and the manufacturer's signature. The leaf hands and subtle subsidiary seconds offer a nod to the early Calatrava design. But the design feature that most stands out is the “Clous de Paris” bezel design, which up close are small pyramids lined up in formation. The movement inside is a beautifully finished manual-winding caliber 215PS (“PS” meaning “Petite Seconde”) ticking away at 28,800 beats per hour.
