Thanks to this subtlety, mechanical watches should have been made of grade 5 titaniumwhich is stronger than steel and twice as strong as aluminum. Thanks to this material, the model is resistant to bending, which can damage the internal system and the operation of the device.

However, to achieve such a thin model thickness, we had to rely on a very restrained approach to displaying time. He only has one small display top center where the user is shown the time, as well as two small screws on the left side for adjustment.
