The first Heartbeat timepiece was launched in 1994 and quickly became an iconic signature of the brand. The purpose of the Heart Beat development was to show that these models were mechanical. With this in mind, the company added an aperture at the position of the balance wheel to show the beauty of the mechanical movement, of its “heartbeat”.
Boasting a 40mm case and a sunray-brushed dial finely decorated with a guilloché clous de paris pattern in the middle, the classics heart beat automatic combines fine watchmaking craft and modern style to perfection with a heart beat aperture revealing the inner workings of the movement at 12 o’clock.
