Time Space Quantième Perpetuel

Luxury watchmaking makes it possible to pair sheer elegance with a dial bearing a great deal of information. The Time Space QP proves this assertion with originality and personality.

QP stands for Quantième Perpétuel, or Perpetual Calendar, a complete calendar displayed through the carefully calculated slant of four auxiliary counters in sapphire crystal set symmetrically around two central hands attached directly to the plate and not to the dial.

A bushed bottom plate, masquerading as a dial and reinforced with a black ruthenium treatment, allows the perpetual calendar to maintain a certain amount of finesse… In more concrete terms, 7.75 millimetres of finesse. It is a clear allusion to the ‘Couteaux' watches, so popular with the dandies of the Roaring Twenties, so thin they were imperceptible in the pocket, so elegant…

A Frédéric Piguet mechanical hand-wound calibre harboured in a black, white or red gold case measuring 46.8 millimetres in diameter allows the owner to read the hour, minute, day, month, date and moon phases, while taking account of leap years.

The transparent mechanism, visible through the bottom plate and the edge of the case, constitutes a true mechanical feat. The case itself is made up of three parts and its casing ring is made of sapphire crystal. The Time Space, original ambassador of Guy Ellia, is water resistant to 30 metres, mounted on an alligator leather strap with a gold folding clasp and boasts a diamond cabochon on the winding button.
