The Legare Chapter 1 AGP Inverted is inspired by Albert-Gustave Piguet's 1932 pocket watch, which featured two balance wheels averaged by a differential.
The watch features two independently operating balance wheels on the dial side, with a differential averaging their rates.
The movement components are available in untreated German silver (Elegant version) or black rhodium finish (Darth version).
The case architecture includes a stepped bezel, raised case flanks, and sharply defined lugs, with concave bevels indicating manual finishing.
The movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz) and utilizes side-angled lever escapements.
Components are sourced from various Swiss suppliers, with final assembly and quality control handled by GLS2F in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
The dial features a clear sapphire ring with applied Roman numerals, hobnail indexes, and a printed minute track, along with a clear sapphire sub-seconds scale.
The Elegant version comes with a gray leather strap, while the Darth version includes a blue textile strap.
