Notes

This series of the celebrated Marine Chronometer was launched in 1974. The case was conceived by Henri Schneider, chief of the Pilot's Line, considering his high performances. The impressive height of this heavy rectangular steel block is reduced by two long chamfered edges which makes it look like a truncated pyramid.
