The chronograph is one of the few complications yet to appear in a Grande Seconde - until now. The designers have managed to retain the signature 8 dial design by adding a central seconds hand for the chronograph while the bottom sub-dial houses the minute chronograph hand as well as the retrograde date indicator. It also retains its minimalist aesthetic by having the chronograph operable via a single pusher on the crown, instead of two separate push pieces.
The inaugural edition is limited to 88 pieces, and fittingly luxurious with its red gold case, Petit Feu enamel numerals and Grand Feu enamel dial. The non-limited models are in stainless steel case with dial options in silver, blue or taupe gray. The design for these models differs slightly too in that the bottom sub-dial is off-centred towards the left but balanced out by a crown positioned at 4 o’clock.
