HUGEX Bicompax cal. Valjoux 92 / Vintage Chronograph

— The shadow of a burnt dial —

A HUGEX chronograph housed in a small case.

Its thoroughly burnt dial looks as though it has weathered rough seas of history — and it reflects the traces of a watch that kept on marking time.

A HUGEX chronograph carrying the evidence of history's rough seas and of time kept without a break. Fitted with the manual-wind Cal. Valjoux 92, a fine calibre from the last period of column-wheel construction. The golden proportion of a two-register dial marked with tachymeter and telemeter. A burnt vintage dial with weighty, commanding presence. A classical mechanism, rough and delicate at once, concentrated into a small case.

— Cal. Valjoux 92 —

Fitted with Valjoux's Cal.92, a movement from the last period of column-wheel construction.

Behind its smooth operation lies real durability.

— The mechanical beauty of a two-register chronograph —

Tachymeter and telemeter remain on the burnt dial.

The balance drawn by the seconds at nine and the minute counter at three, combined with the burn, has roughness and delicacy crossing within it — a colouring that carries the breath of its period.

— A vintage afterglow —

A presence like a shadow that has passed through time.

Wearing its history, it settles on a modern wrist and goes on quietly marking the weight of time gone by.
