The shapes of time

Between simple shapes and play of perceptions, the maison continues its exploration of time.

Arceau Duc Attelé

Description

The understated yet distinctive Arceau Duc Attelé offers a novel combination of complications in which a central triple-axis tourbillon and a minute repeater with ‘tuning-fork' gong beat in harmony to the rhythm of a high-frequency movement. Chiming the hours, quarters and minutes, the horse-shaped hammers strike the branches of the long gong whose tones are reminiscent of cathedral chimes.
