The movement
Calibre K.1
A hand-wound movement built on a gilt three-quarter plate — an architecture borrowed from Glashütte, finished the way the Aegean light demands: warm, low, unhurried.
01 · Three-quarter plate
One plate carries the whole going train. Harder to assemble, stiffer in the pocket of the case, and the classical mark of a movement meant to be looked at.
02 · Geneva striping, gilt
The plate is striped, gilded, then striped again — the second pass cuts through the gilding so the ribs catch light in two colours.
03 · Blued screws
Heat-blued one by one over a brass pan. The colour cannot be faked; overshoot by ten degrees and you start again.
04 · Free-sprung balance
4 Hz, adjusted by four gold masselottes rather than a regulator pin. It holds its rate the way a keel holds a course.
Ten days of regulation
before a single strap is fitted.
Each movement runs on the timing machine in five positions, morning and evening, for ten days. Only when the daily spread settles inside −2/+4 seconds does the calibre meet its case — and its number.
