Petite Seconde Rétrograde Tourbillon

The first eye-catching feature is the two transformed dials, the hour and minute dial at four o'clock, and the small retrograde seconds dial, a segment at 11 o'clock. In Schwarz Etienne's creation, these dials are made of natural-colored stones and stand out visually from the rest of the watch. They have been re-manufactured by Label Noir, finished with sandblasting, and electroplated to a mid-gray hue. Finally, the Roman numerals of the hours have been substituted by sector indexes. Definitively, the original model's exuberance has been given way to a contemporary minimalism.
