Scroll Down Chapter 1

What is Chapter 1? Chapter one is always the start of something new and different. In this case the Chapter1 is the first timepiece to be released by new watch maker Maitres Du Temps which is collaboration of three masters in watch making. Mr. Christophe Clare who plays the complex role of the innovator and developer, who most definitely has the most sought after complicated movements in his repertoire the world will ever see,Mr Roger Dubuis who has been a seasoned veteran as a master watch maker for Patek Phillipe for 14 years and has always challenged the fundamentals of watch making to construct something unique with his own brand bearing his name while still keeping the elements of traditional watch making alive and lastly Mr Peter Speake-Marin who is an Englishman who left for Switzerland at a young age to cultivate his passion and broaden his vision for watches by working under renowned complication specialists Renaud & Papi which is the movement manufacturer which is owned and operated By non other than Audemars Piguet.

The union of these three minds has resulted in the most traditional values of craftsmanship and yet still owning a piece of modernity in the New Chapter!. This touneau shaped case is 46.6mm made out of 18k rose gold with a double coated anti reflective crystal on the front and back.

This technical marvel features, Central hands indicating hours and minutes Central chronograph counterpoised second hand 60-minute counter at 12 o’clock Retrograde date at 3 o’clock Retrograde GMT at 9 o’clock position, One-minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock position, Day of the week indication on roller at 6 o’clock position with Patented precise moon phase indication on roller at 12 o’clock position. So many brands get lost and confused on colliding the worlds of old watchmaking and modern ideas but the Chapter one does it flawlessly making it seem like it was done so seamlessly without effort making chapter one a must read!
