This specific watch technology represents a unique hybrid system, blending the traditional craftsmanship of mechanical watches with the precision of quartz regulation. A mainspring powers the timekeeping mechanism, as in a conventional automatic watch, but the regulation of this power is managed by an electromagnetic brake controlled by a quartz oscillator. This combination delivers exceptional accuracy, typically +/- one second per day, and a smooth, gliding seconds hand motion a distinct characteristic rarely found in traditional or quartz watches.
The integration of these technologies provides a significant advantage: high accuracy combined with the craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal of a mechanical movement. This innovative approach, developed and refined over decades, represents a horological achievement, offering watch enthusiasts a compelling alternative to purely mechanical or quartz timepieces. It bridges the gap between traditional watchmaking and modern technology, creating timepieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and technically advanced.
