The advent of the Baumatic™ movement represents the Richemont Group’s first combined introduction of a silicon balance-spring and a high-performance escapement.

Antimagnetic, three times lighter than the ordinary alloys used for hairsprings, resistant to corrosion and less sensitive to small impacts and repeated vibrations, silicon enables spectacular progress in terms of horological innovation.

Silicon facilitates longer maintenance service intervals for both the watch and its movement.
