Description
Dornblüth & Sohn 99.9 Power Reserve (GR) ST
Dornblüth & Sohn’s much-loved Centre Second timepiece has been enhanced with a power reserve gauge to add another level of functionality to this elegant classic.
By positioning the gauge in the lower part of the dial, clarity and legibility are retained.
This piece features Dornblüth’s signature silver-plated brass dial with a classic ship-clock surface finish, flame-blued hands and subtle arched power reserve gauge with arrow indicator, positioned at 6 o’clock.
The 99.9 calibre is enhanced with snailed wheels, an engraved bridge, a grained three-quarter plate and bevelled, gold chatons to add beauty and individuality to the technically brilliant movement.
The steel case is satinised in high wear areas to offset the polished, curved lugs to deliver a subtle aesthetic with functionality and charm. This is a rare opportunity to own a classic Dornblueth without the wait, at the current market price. Only 1 piece is available, so now might be the perfect time to become a Dornblüth owner.
