For those not already in the know, we’ve covered Simon Brette since his first watch launched in 2023 and with his rose gold follow-up last year. His team is slowly ramping up production to meet the tremendous demand as an indie darling on the scene. That demand far outstrips supply still, with only 50 pieces of the rose gold and 60 pieces of the steel being made (fewer than 99 of the first production model in titanium were made as well). But the things that made his watches so coveted in the first place all remain.
The dial, which here gets its most outrageous treatment yet, is only part of the story. Still, even there, there are some thoughtful touches, such as purple-blue accents that hold the screws for the keyless works, carrying the purple tones across the dial and into the openworked sections. The movement is the same as in past releases, with dual barrels providing 72 hours of power reserve, an oversized balance with variable-inertia adjustable weights, beats at 18,000 VpH, a hairspring shaped with a Breguet terminal curve, and a visible S-shaped stop balance.
