The large rectangular case with locking push crown houses a “machine” that is a wonderful example of micro-engineering, featuring an instantaneous jump hour with retrograde minute and date sectors.
- The automatic movement, visible through a sapphire caseback porthole, is micro-engineered by Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, watchmaker and founder of Agenhor.
- Preserved in excellent condition, the present Horological Machine No. 2 is part of a limited edition of 66 pieces and is further accompanied by its full set of accessories.
