Caliber case and bracelet of this Masterpiece Embrace
The stainless steel case features a balanced diameter of 40 mm for a thickness of 14 mm. Its finishes alternate with great subtlety between luminous polished surfaces and brushed edges. An anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the transparent caseback reveals the architectural complexity of the movement. The blue aventurine dial captures the light magnificently, evoking a deep, bewitching starry sky. On this glittering canvas unfolds an atypical small seconds display via two skeletonized hearts that rotate continuously within each other. An arrow-shaped hand indicates the retrograde date, underlined by the romantic phrase Je t'aime un peu beaucoup à la folie. The watch is powered by Manufacture caliber ML258. This self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and features 37 jewels. It guarantees a 36-hour power reserve. The watch is worn on a textured blue leather strap adorned with the Maison's metallic logo and secured by a steel folding clasp.
