The more complex Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue is presented in a platinum case and showcases an open-worked double-escapement movement.

- Price: CHF 20,400 / €22,500 / US$28,600 (excl. tax) for Midnight in Geneva
The Quai des Bergues Midnight in Geneva features a dark blue aventurine dial with fine metallic flecks, evoking a night sky, and Roman numerals with fleur-de-lys hands.
The Midnight in Geneva's dial construction involves cutting through the fragile aventurine glass to create recessed sub-dials for small seconds and power reserve indication.
The manually wound Calibre SXH1 in the Midnight in Geneva has two barrels, a variable-inertia balance wheel, and features sandblasted bridges, heat-blued screws, and snailed wheels visible through the caseback.
The Place Vendôme Complicité Glacier Blue is a collaboration with master watchmaker Bernhard Lederer, featuring a movement with two independent escapements and two balance wheels.
The Midnight in Geneva's 40.5mm steel case has been refined with adjusted lugs and case flank recesses to improve wearability.
