Description
Revered by watch enthusiasts for its heritage and unassuming presentation, the Regulator complication presents timekeeping information in a deconstructed manner. Focusing on the passage of minutes and seconds around the outer dial, the hours are decentralised and shown on a sub dial at 6 o’clock in a most charming manner. Dornblueth & Sohn’s Regulator has the added feature of a power reserve gauge set at 12 o’clock to help you keep track of your run-time.
This is a stunning timepiece with a precise & beautiful movement that will retain its allure and functionality for many generations to come. The polished stainless steel case and angled bezel frame the silver grained dial to afford a clean finish that can be enhanced with a metal bracelet or worn in a more classical way with a leather band – either way the Regulator in steel will be with you for a long time.
The Caliber • Inspired by the repair of an old precision pendulum clock the Regulator expands the timepiece variety of the Dornblüth manufacture. The Dornblüth-team combined the interaction of the original eccentric hours and the inhouse development of the power reserve indicator with a center second and created a new design for the Regulator.
