To add to his accomplishments in the field of watchmaking, Pierre Kunz has dispensed with convention and created an unusually large aperture format, or “grand guichet" displayed on a 3 millimetre aperture to ensure perfect legibility. Pushing back the frontiers of the possible, Pierre Kunz designed a genuine technical innovation with the eye of the artist. Its special features are the double retrograde seconds superposed on a single axis, where each hand chases the other indefinitely and the retrograde days function occupies a central position. This “Grande date” model can be equipped with a power reserve on the base indicating precisely how long it has left to run. It was designed using a satellite system that gravitates around the movement. The only system of its kind in the world, this power reserve inscribed on an engine-turned zone is perfectly integrated in the open back cover assembly of the watch.

VALGRANGES, Born to be great
We are undoubtedly witnessing the beginning of a major trend for the coming years the demand for large, even very large watches. These watches are not only designed to display the time, but also to express the personality of the wearer. Today’s women often like to use large watches, while men turn to even bigger timekeepers.
