Three new variations of the Classics Carrée Automatic return the collection to its original era, those of the roaring twenties, from which emerged a stylistic audacity whose imprint is still perceptible. Very refined, these rose gold-plated or steel timepieces rely on a minimalist style with baton indexes, dauphine hands and date. A dial with a subtle guilloché pattern gives the Classics Carrée Automatic a rare elegance for aesthete collectors.

THREE VARIATIONS
THREE STYLES

The new Classics Carrée Automatic is available in three versions, all powered by the FC-303 caliber offering 38 hours of power reserve, visible through the sapphire caseback. The most sober and classic, delivered with a steel case, silver dial and black leather strap; the most modern comes in the same case with a blue dial on a matching bracelet in the same tone, topstitched in blue; the most chic and precious prefers a pink gold-plated case with shared indexes and hands, on a brown strap.

The center of the dial concentrates the most refined finishes. This rectangle, also with the exact proportions of the 30.4 x 33.3 mm case, is closed by a “railway” type timer, typical of the 1920s and the Art Deco movement that ran through them. A very fine grooving dresses it, offered to the sole gaze of its owner.

This subtlety makes it possible to offer a better contrast to the set of three hands. Those for the hours and minutes are shaped in the Dauphine style, a geometry also characteristic of the past century. This simple, refined shape allows the time to be read perfectly in all circumstances thanks to two facets oriented at two divergent angles – so that at least one of the two always captures the light.
