What Is A Perpetual Calendar?
A perpetual calendar automatically accounts for varying month lengths and leap years, requiring minimal manual adjustment over extended periods.
What Is A Split-Seconds Chronograph?
A split-seconds chronograph, also known as a rattrapante chronograph, allows multiple elapsed intervals to be timed simultaneously using two chronograph seconds hands. It is considered one of the most technically demanding complications in traditional watchmaking.
