Maîtres du Temps - Chapter Three Reveal

CHAPTER THREE REVEAL – IT’S A REVELATION

A push of a button opens secret panels in the dial to reveal additional time zone and day/night indicators. Another push and they disappear.

Maîtres du Temps - Chapter Three RevealMystery, Suspense, Surprise: terms more often associated with Alfred Hitchcock films than haute horlogerie ... until now. Until the beguiling Chapter Three Reveal by Maîtres du Temps.

The perfect watch for the well-heeled globetrotter might feature the following: time, date, moon phase, and a second time zone and day/night indicator—to avoid calling home at 3 a.m. instead of 3 p.m. However, while all of these indications are useful, they are not all necessary all the time.

Indication-rich timepieces have always been a compromise between functionality and refinement—an uncluttered dial is a more elegant dial. Or, to be more precise, indication-rich timepieces have always been a compromise between functionality and refinement . . . until Chapter Three Reveal.

Independent Master Watchmakers Kari Voutilainen and Andreas Strehler have created a stunningly elegant timepiece that displays hours, minutes, seconds, date, and phase of the moon, all set on a sumptuous blue guilloche dial.

But that’s not all, and this is where Mystery, Suspense and Surprise come in: Voutilainen and Strehler have also kept a couple of intimate secrets in reserve, to be revealed, and perhaps even shared, at the owner’s pleasure. A pusher set into the crown lowers two invisible panels in the dial to reveal two more hitherto hidden indications: a second time zone indicator (also known as a GMT) and a day/night indicator, both displayed on Maîtres du Temps’ signature rollers.

Elegant sophistication has never looked so good.

Solid 18K gold hands and large Roman numeral hour indices are exquisitely and legibly juxtaposed against the majestic blue dial, which is finely engraved with a radiating sunray pattern.
