Clearly positioned at the peak of the watchmaking pyramid, the brand with Danish origins proudly flaunts an atelier-based approach to horology. Exactly like that practiced by the circle of renowned watchmakers to which the founder belonged over two centuries ago. An entire day to polish a single movement wheel for example, or 20 operations to craft a hand-blued and polished\/satin-brushed moon-phase disk with gold moon and stars. As complex as Grand Feu enameling, the ancestral process of \u2018grenage\u2019 (graining) applied to its solid silver dial, as described by its CEO S\u00f6ren Petersen to our WorldTempus.com colleague in the Tech &amp; Test section. This traditional technique combining manual dexterity and electrochemical expertise makes each dial truly unique. The equally finely hand-crafted blued steel and gold polished hands blithely obey the dictates of the in-house caliber. The principle of \u201ctaking time for time\u201d has rarely been so meaningful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selected among the finalists of the 2016 Grand Prix d\u2019Horlogerie de Gen\u00e8ve in the Men\u2019s Watch category, Reference 2340 from the Jules collection does not reveal its entire nature at first glance, even through the numerals immediately put it in a league of its own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":22676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22679"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22679"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22679\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22680,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22679\/revisions\/22680"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
