DESIGN
THE SECRET TIME
In the 1930s, the epitome of discretion was the secret watch, a time when jewellery and cocktail aesthetics were highly sought after. Secret watches have remained fascinating over the decades due to their combination of watchmaking and jewellery craftsmanship. The 101 Secrets, builds on this tradition but offers a modern twist with its diamond riviĆØre bracelet, set with over 1,000 diamonds, and a concealed delicate dial.
HIGH JEWELLERY MEETS FINE WATCHMAKING
Elevating allure, this exquisite timepiece forms an unbroken river of light and sparkle that flows around the wrist, giving no hint of the timepiece concealed within it.. Moreover, the whiteness of platinum lights up the diamonds more than ever, creating a scintillating show as the light catches the watch from every angle.
CALIBRE
IN-HOUSE CALIBRE 101
Entirely designed, produced, decorated and assembled within the Manufacture, the manual-winding Calibre 101 is renowned for its miniaturised size.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
MINIMISING CALIBRE TO MAXIMISE SPARKLES
98 COMPONENTS MINIATURISED
The Calibre 101 is known of its minuscule size despite its 98 components, measuring only 14 x 4.8 mm with a thickness of 3.4 mm (smaller than the tip of a pencil). The 41 components of the case have also been miniaturised so as not to compromise the design.
A FEAT OF HIDDEN MICRO-MECHANISM
For this specific timepiece, designing the secret elements of the watch added to the challenge. The mechanism that reveals the dial had to be so tiny that it could be completely hidden within the rows of diamonds ā its position known only to the wearer.
MORE THAN 1ā000 DIAMONDS
Over 1ā000 diamonds (for over 26 carats) are precisely positioned using two different setting techniques: a double row of grain-set diamonds edged with two outer rows of griffe-set diamonds to create a perfect symmetry.
HERITAGE
REINVENTED SINCE 1929
The Calibre 101 is the oldest calibre still in production at the Manufacture. It has powered some of the most emblematic high jewellery watches and animated hundreds of different designs.
