After all the crazy complications featured here recently there’s something strangely beautiful about this Armand Nicolet 999 piece limited edition.
The case is stainless steel and 18kt rose gold.
It measures 40mm x 8mm and has a sapphire crystal. Water resistance is to 30 meters.
Movement is the Swiss manual-wind AN710A, which is derived from a FHF 72 (Fabrique d’Horlogerie de Fontainemelon) caliber produced back in 1960.
It has 17 jewels, 21,600 vph and a power reserve of 34 hours. It is finished with Perlage, and the bridges are decorated with Surface Vagues and gold engravings.
Armand Nicolet’s watchmakers added an Incabloc shock absorber and made other modifications so it could achieve modern technical standards.
Simple, but very desirable.
