Classique Hora Mundi in 950 Platinum with a Self-winding movement.
Three versions of the dial are available, each representing one part of the world:
the Americas, the European and African continents,
or Asia and Oceania – six references in all.
This watch’s most iconic complication, however,
is its instant-jump time-zone display system with synchronized date,
day/night and city indications, a world first for a mechanical watch.
This function allows the traveler to easily display the time in two pre-selected time zones, changing instantly from one to the other simply
by pressing a button, without disturbing the operation of the watch.
Changing the time zone affects not only the time, but also the date synchronized through a “tracking” calendar system – and the day/night indicator.
it is the first example of a mechanical timepiece
with an instant-jump time zone display.
All of the displays jump between time zones
with the push of a button.The concept is so intuitive,
one has to wonder why it has not been done before.
The Hora Mundi’s four patent applications claim 1)
a timepiece comprising a mechanism with two time zones, 2)
the display of a time zone on demand via the main set of hands, 3)
a programmable and reprogrammable mechanical memory wheel
for a timepiece, and 4) a mechanism for displaying a temporal
dimension by means of a dragging hand.
The sun and moon are made of solid gold yellow gold for the sun,
rhodium-plated yellow gold for the moon.
The cover for this disc, representing a cloud and bearing
the Breguet name and the watch’s serial number,
is also made of silvered 18K gold and engraved entirely by hand.
