Dear Claudio,
Many thanks for your interest in Atelier de Chronométrie Barcelona.
Our wristwatches are completely hand made without using CNC machines.
Also a little bit of information of our Chronometer:
- Our calibre base is the Omega cal 266,32 pieces are made and decorated from zero completely by hand, for example the bridges made of German Silver, the rachet click, the balance stud plate, hands, etc. The rest of the calibre parts are completely modified and decorated by hand, for instance the wheels (and also even the teeth), pinions, anchor...
The finish of our movement includes techniques like "frosting" (real frosted finish made by hand, not sandblasting ), hand beveling and black polish.
- Regarding the balance is a "free sprung balance" regulated by inertial screws and two "massellottes" made of 18k white gold, the shock system is three points contact KIF.
- By the way, take into consideration that if one customer prefers a movement without shock system it's also possible (like Patek cal 12-120). You can also choose the finishes of the movement, for example if you prefer the ratchet wheel with a matte finish instead of black polish or the movement rhodium plated with all the wheels in rose gold, the number of bridges, etc.... As you can see there are lots of options to make the watch unique. Once the watch has been created will be a "unique piece" because we never repeat the same combination for other customers.
To sum up, we have create a new chronometer calibre from a simple Omega cal 266 that wasn't a chronometer.
-The hand made 18 k white gold case measures 37'5mm without crown and it is available also in rose and yellow gold or combination of both ( for example white gold with rose gold bezel and crown ).
- The case is snap on back as a part of our philosophy, the movement beats at 18000 vph like in the old times, you can hear the amzing slow tick-tack and appreciate that the movement is alive. This "hipnotic" sound is not possible with a waterproof case because isolates the sound of the movement.
- At the moment we only have created 3 options for the dials: silvered two tone, rose two tone and gilt glossy black dial ( with silver signature and scales ) all the dials have engine turned subseconds. The dials are "galvanic" like in the 40's.
Also it will be available the option of a cloisonné dial. The blue steel hands are completely made by hand.
- The straps are also hand made in Barcelona and comes with 18k hand made buckles, you can choose the material ( alligator, ostrich, etc......).
- The watch is chronometer certified by l'Observatoire de Besançon.
- The price is 36000 euros shipping included and the delivery time is 7 months for each chronometer.
- 5 years warranty
Please, let us know if you have any doubt or require any additional information. We'll be really happy to answer you.
Once again thanks for your interest in Atelier de Chronométrie!
