The HU-02 recreates Robert Cart's "Chronoscope" wandering jump-hour complication, inspired by Breguet pocket watches from the 1920s.
The watch features a lug-less, "Disco Volante-style" case with a concealed crown and strap integration through the caseback.
The "Classic" version has a polished naval brass case with a cream dial and sand-colored strap, while the "Silver Speciale" is in polished steel with a grained silver dial and taupe strap.
Both versions feature an Art Deco-inspired design with a geometric hour window, sharp minute track font, and an arrow-shaped guilloché motif.
The movement is a heavily modified ETA 2824-2 automatic with a custom wandering module, contributing to the watch's thickness and reduced power reserve.
The watch is available in limited production during a defined allocation period via the brand's website.
