PATEK PHILIPPE
GRANDMASTER CHIME
The Grandmaster Chime is, to date, the most complicated wristwatch from the Geneva-based family firm and certainly one of the most complicated wristwatches in the world.

CORUM
TOURBILLON CHRONOGRAPH
Fully integrated, its chronograph is orchestrated by a column wheel governing its functions.

Produced specifically for each LVRR-01 watch, the trunk is adorned with a hand-painted motif inspired by the double railway track embellishing the enamel dial, as well as the Akrivlia logo and the limited edition serial number of the timepiece. As a final tri- bute to the craftsmen of the LVRR-01, the signatures of Rexhep Rexhepi, Jean-Pierre Hagmann, and Nicolas Doublel are reproduced within the case.
