The platinum version is noted as feeling massive and heavy, though it wears more comfortably on the wrist and commands a significant presence.
The dial design is inspired by the Montre a Tact made by Leroy in 1810 for the Prince of Hesse, featuring a hand guilloché disc that rotates once every 12 hours and a hand-worked arrow appliqué.
Customization options are available, including the potential for gemstones on the dial or the arrow.
The titanium version is highlighted for its loudest and most beautiful striking tones among the three metal configurations.
The officer caseback is designed to be opened, revealing the minute repeater hammers and the end staff of the flying tourbillon through a sapphire glass.
The reviewer favors the titanium version for its sonic signature and the attractive visual combination of a silver guilloché dial base with a blued arrow.
