At either end, he placed the minutes (left) and seconds (right) counters, those most frequently consulted and needing to be identifiable at first glance. Set at positions three and four were the hours counter and a 24-hour indicator for races held abroad in other time zones. The Chrono 4 was born. The model now appears in a version blending tradition with modernity, featuring its first ever Clous de Paris hobnail pattern dial reflecting age-old watchmaking decorative norms. For the second time, the sturdy, lightweight bezel is made from black ceramic. The result exudes an ideal yet free-spirited balance, reflecting the ethos of the most Italian of the Swiss watch Maisons.
The editorial team was impressed by the rare 800 base on the bezel, the luminous blue shade of the dial, the modest 42mm diameter, as well as the enduringly singular “4 in a row” design.
