tHE pALACE
The unique technical architecture of the Palace is integral to its aesthetics, with structures and transmissions evoking
modern civilization's rich engineering heritage. A monopusher column-wheel chronograph with a rare instantaneous
60-minute counter sits at the top of the dial above a one-minute flying tourbillon. On the left, a complex spiral cam driven
through a 90º conical gear controls the disc indicating the second time zone, rotating the arrow 180º at the top to use time
scales on both sides of its oval track. A similar track on the right displays the 72-hour power reserve with power transmitted
via a tiny chain complete with a miniature tensioner. The movement’s 703 components are housed in a 48x49mm case
featuring a titanium case middle and bezel, caseback and lugs, in 18K red or white gold.
