Instrumento Grande Chrono
Five years after its widely-acclaimed launching, the Instrumento Grande has returned in a chronograph version. And what a chronograph! While the case has retained its original size and its emblematic opening on the side of the case at 9 o’clock to provide a novel view of the movement, the dial shows an exuberance of creativity. The retrograde date, in twin arcs, displays unbridled dynamism, sublimated by a skilful interplay of tinted and non-tinted glass to enable the date to be read at first glance. The chronograph counters offer a fascinating and cleverly orchestrated combination of shapes and sizes, from the square at 9 o’clock to the oversized circle at 6 to the more classic circle at 12.
