Official description
The Chronomètre Antimagnétique is both a tribute to historical antimagnetic chronometers and a practical timekeeper for modern life, where electronics containing powerful magnets are frequently encountered in everyday life.
The dial of the Chronomètre Antimagnétique is inspired by the “scientific” dials of historical chronometers. But its design is also a subtle nod to the watch’s purpose: the alternating blocks along the hour scale are an abstract representation of the opposite polarities of a magnetic field.
Like the great wristwatch chronometers that place function above form, the Chronomètre Antimagnétique features an antimagnetic stainless steel case – one of the rare metal cases made by Jean-Pierre Hagmann’s workshop (JHP).
With its symmetry and perfect finish, the Chronomètre Antimagnétique calibre is instantly recognisable as a Rexhep Rexhepi movement. The calibre is easily distinguished by its innovative structure. This one-of-a-kind timepiece will be awarded to the highest bidder during the Only Watch auction this May.
