Application of state-of-the-art technologies
Paul Picot has invested over one year in the development of this new model. The result is an achievement to be proud of and makes the heart of every watch collector and expert beat faster. A specialist processing technique developed and perfected specifically for this collection enables the lizard or python skin to be processed extremely thinly so that the colour and structure of the dial are completely identical to the watchstrap.
A sapphire crystal coated with a special UV filter prevents any discolouring of the leather and gives the dial an even longer life than that of conventional models. Paul Picot did not leave anything to chance when developing the Wild Collection. Manufacturing the dial presented the most challenging problems since the new materials had to be cut extremely precisely. Paul Picot consequently worked very closely with specialists to find the perfect solution.
A new face with outstanding internal workings
The automatic chronograph mechanism of the Technograph sits in a case with a generous, modern and sporty design and was developed from the base calibre Valjoux 7750. The sophisticated dual dial system enables hours and minutes to be displayed in the middle of the watch (on the top dial). The real-time seconds and minutes of the chronometer function are displayed on two crescent-shaped oversized counters on the lower dial, in a circular motion in fact. The originality of the dial is completed with a patented display system for the date in a window in which the date of the current day is displayed in red and the date of the previous or next day is displayed in grey. This new variation of the Technograph model is a demonstration of Paul Picot’s great love of innovation while meticulously observing the technical guidelines for the Technograph model collection and its “Noblesse du détail” philosophy. This exclusive chronograph is available in the shops immediately for EUR 5,100.00 without diamonds and for EUR 5,350.00 with diamonds (recommended retail prices). (Text/Foto: Paul Picot Press)
