The excellence is in the execution of this basic chronograph. The watch resides in an elegant 39-mm round case in 18K yellow gold. The chronograph is operated with pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock with the rectangular shape. The dial has two sub-dials. Continuous seconds on the left, a 30-minute counter for the chronograph on the right. The logarithmic pulsimeter scale on the outermost perimeter is calibrated to 15 heartbeats, revisiting the traditional doctor’s watch. The railway track minute scale features slightly compressed Breguet numerals. The hour, minute, and seconds hands are crafted from yellow gold to match the hour markers and Roman numerals, while the chronograph seconds and minute hands are black.
