Inside the black titanium case, behind the black and red dial, there’s a really serious engine lurking, with two separate mechanical halves. The first is rather simple and it’s balance (the little wheel and spring system that actually keeps the time) beats at 4 Hz and tells you the time. The second half’s though beats at a whopping 50 Hz and lets you use the chronograph (stopwatch) function to time things down to 1/1000th of a second, all using one large button at the top of the cast to start, stop, and reset the mechanism. When you stop it, the little hand in that red gauge at 12 o’clock snaps into position instantly to read out the last 1/1000th. Now you better get started working on that reaction time. 175,000 Euro.
