Classique Hora Mundi<\/strong><\/p>\n

CASE<\/strong> : 18K white (or pink) gold, fluted caseband, sapphire crystal caseback, water-resistant to 30m<\/p>\n

DIAMETER<\/strong> : 43mm<\/p>\n

MOVEMENT<\/strong> : mechanical self-winding (Caliber 77FO, 55h power reserve), silicon balance-spring, inverted in-line Swiss lever escapement with silicon horns<\/p>\n

FUNCTIONS<\/strong> : hours, minutes, seconds, instant time-zone display system, synchronized 24-hour and city indications<\/p>\n

DIAL<\/strong> : gold with three guilloch\u00e9 motifs (Clous de Paris, flame pattern, basketweave)<\/p>\n

STRAP<\/strong> : black leather, gold folding clasp<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Five years after the launch of the Classique Hora Mundi<\/strong>, with its lacquered globe motif on the dial of the 2011 version that left no doubt as to its multiple time-zone function, its 2016 interpretation is distinctly more mysterious. Only its 6 o\u2019clock aperture successively showing the cities corresponding to local time might lead one to think that a subtle time indication is taking the place of the main one clearly displayed on the entire dial surface. But with which hand ? The very same one, programmed via a concealed and patented mechanism, enables the owner of the Hora Mundi 5727<\/strong> to set and memorize the time in another city of the world, alongside local time. This second time-zone is displayed by pressing a pusher at 8 o\u2019clock. The date is also automatically adjusted to the time-zone being indicated, a touch that represents another original feat. Highlighted by a circular-tipped hand jumping across a dragging disk at 12 o\u2019clock, it displays the time both simultaneously and legibly. A final distinctive feature serving a dual aesthetic and functional purpose takes the form of the figures 6 and 18 appearing in a 3 o\u2019clock counter and relating to the day\/night indication, with a \u201cbasketweave\u201d guilloch\u00e9 motif adorning the first half of the 24-hour cycle in the lower part of the subdial bearing the number 6 (and the individual number of the watch); and a flame pattern embellishing the upper part. This visual refinement is also reflected in the \u201cClous de Paris\u201d motif of the hand-crafted dial, the finely fluted caseband and the sapphire crystal caseback revealing the self-winding in-house caliber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
