C9 5 DAY SMALL-SECOND CHRONOMETERYOUR C9 5 DAY SMALL-SECOND CHRONOMETERTo release an important movement in Britishwatchmaking – our first in-house Calibre,SH21 – was a satisfying feat in July 2014.One year on, we are beginning to capitalizeon Johannes Jahnke’s innovative, Baukastensystem design approach with the release ofa hand-wound execution with a small-secondhand display at 6 hours, housed in our classicC9 dress case.Blued hands in elegant curved forms flatter theoptic white dial and roman indexes, bringingrefreshed elegance and refinement to theC9 Collection.The robust nature of the Calibre SH21 movementprovides a stable foundation to the reliability ofthe C9 Small-Second and with each movementgiven the accolade of chronometer status bythe Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres(COSC), precision and accuracy is guaranteed.2Each watch is hand crafted by our Swisswatchmakers at our atelier in Biel giving thewearer, therefore, a direct connection to themechanics of Swiss engineering, encompassedin a watch with a quintessentially Englishdesign aesthetic.
