Description
Dornblüth & Sohn Quintus 2010.4 Big Date (GR) Gold
Dornblueth & Sohn’s striking, in-house caliber Q-2010 beats at the heart of the Quintus Collection.
Each piece offers unique functionality in a tidy 38.5mm case so it is perfectly suited to slimmer wrist sizes. A special technical feature of the Quintus Centre Second collection is the concealed center second drive located under the main bridge. As a result, the movement affords a more aesthetic appearance because its overall height is reduced. This allows the wearer to enjoy the exposed, patented Maltese Cross feature on view. In conjunction with the double spring-cage drive and short-armature locking, it ensures almost linear force transmission and significantly improved gear ratios, combining beauty with functionality as only the Germans can
Dornblueth & Sohn’s Quintus collection features the stunning in-house calibre developed and created at Dornblueth’s HQ in Kalbe.
The addition of a large date window to this classic piece provides is a nod to the heritage of watch displays as well as providing additional information at a glance.
The charming and very traditional look of the silver dial encased in a solid gold case is a pleasure to wear and behold. This is a very special timepiece that will age beautifully and with much grace.
