A strange €˜Papillon€™ The calm transformation of Daniel Roth becomes even more spectacular with the recent introduction of the Ellipsocurvex Papillon. A €˜cover€™ encloses the top of the watch with a window displaying the instantaneous jumping hour hand and a smaller window at the centre for the small seconds. The minutes appear in a large €˜smile€™ that opens from 3 to 9 o€™clock. These €˜pseudo€™ retrograde minutes are €˜revolutionary€™ minutes displayed by two hands, each taking over from the other. This movement is based on a Girard-Perregaux calibre that is entirely finished in-house, including decoration, hand chamfering, and the Ctes de Genve pattern. Finally, the new Ellipsocurvex Minute Repeater Power Reserve timepiece affirms the stylistic evolution that is taking place at Daniel Roth . While the basics remain untouched (notably the case and decentralized hands), the displays have changed with the power reserve indicator placed in an arc between 8 and 4 o€™clock and the small seconds hand placed off-centre at 7 o€™clock, which gives the dial a very particular appearance. A small detail is that a chime indicator at 12 o€™clock warns the wearer that he should not set off the minute repeater manually. (This is an elegant way to avoid certain €˜accidents€™ that might happen when both are set off at the same time.) Thanks to these subtleties and aesthetic refinements, Daniel Roth intends to slowly attract a more non-traditional clientele, while remaining firmly anchored in the circles of prestige mechanical timekeeping. 100% original and in great condition.
