Your Movement

Inside, an automatic calibre transforms the natural motion of your wrist into precise, continuous timekeeping. No battery. No winding. Just you, moving.

Keep reading: the rotor is winding. The reserve fills with your scroll exactly the way the calibre fills with your wrist.

FAQ’s

Yes. Every Signature runs on the in-house YM-72 automatic calibre. A rotor winds the mainspring from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace and no daily winding ritual unless you want one.

Seventy-two hours from full wind. Take it off on Friday evening and it will still be keeping time on Monday morning, which is why we built the reserve indicator into the dial rather than hiding it on the caseback.

Rated to 100 metres. That covers swimming, rain and an unplanned wave. We do not recommend wearing it in a sauna or hot shower, because heat rather than water is what ages the gaskets.

Yes. Every case uses quick-release spring bars, so straps swap in about fifteen seconds without tools. Leather, mesh and rubber are all cut to the same 20 mm lug width.

Five years on the movement and two on the case and crystal, transferable if the watch changes hands. Servicing is handled by our own watchmakers rather than a third-party network.

Rinse the case with fresh water after salt or chlorine, keep it away from magnets and speakers, and book a service every five to seven years. Wearing it regularly is genuinely good for it: a moving rotor keeps the lubricants distributed.
