Breva. A rare and unusual 18K white gold manual wind meteorological semi-skeletonised wristwatch with altimetric, barometic and power reserve indicationsModel: Genie 01, Limited Edition No.14/55Date: Circa 2013Movement: 46-jewel manual wind Cal.122-046, adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism & 5 positionsDial: Semi-skeletonised, subsidiary time dial with Arabic and baton numerals, inner minute track, sector for altimetric indication, additional subsidiary dial for barometer, valve open/close indicator and power reserve scale, indicated by the compass rose symbol wheel, underneath these indications and dials sits the Aneroid barometer capsuleCase: Brushed and polished round, exhibition back with engraved pressure calculations secured by 6 screws, No.770068Strap/Bracelet: Grey Breva alligator leatherBuckle/Clasp: Signed 18K white gold folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 44mmFootnotes:The Breva Génie 01 was the world's first mechanical wristwatch with time, altitude, weather forecasting barometric pressure and power reserve. This skillfully engineered weather forecasting watch is fitted with both an altimetric and barometric scale, and two stacked aneroïd capsules that measure air pressure and any slight changes. The altimeter, reading from -300 to +5,300 metres, can first be set through the crown at 2 o'clock to match the wearer's local elevation. The crown at 4 o'clock rotates 90° to lock/unlock an air valve that enables the pressure inside the watch case to be equalized with the outside air pressure. Barometric pressure is easily read on the smoky-sapphire sub dials at two o'clock with graphics of impending weather conditions. An increase in air pressure signals good weather, whilst a decrease in air pressure warns of adverse weather. The Breva Génie 01 was designed by Jean-François Mojon, founder of Chronode, a Swiss movement developer based in Le Locle, which specializes in research and development of specialist watch movements, modules, and complications. Chronode has designed complicated watches for Harry Winston (the Opus X), MB&F and HYT among others.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
