The automatic movement with 18K gold micro-rotor was developed in-house by MCT. Remarkably legible hours are indicated by four modules, each comprising five triangular prisms. The current hour is highlighted by an open “window” in a “c-shaped” arc around the center of the dial, which is relief-engraved with “Manufacture Contemporaine du Temps.” The “C-shaped” central disc jumps sequentially 90° counterclockwise each hour to highlight the new hour, while minutes are displayed 360° around the full perimeter of the dial. The combination of oversized hour numerals and central minutes offers an extremely legible time indication.
The lower mass of the micro-rotor requires less force than a traditional full-size rotor. Visible through the display back, the beautifully hand-finished movement bridges offer an eye-catching contrast to the warm glow of the red gold weight, and mainspring chaton.
