World Timer Jean Todt Limited Edition

THE TOURBILLON World Timer Jean Todt Limited Edition has an especially easy setting mechanism for its world time function. In order to see the time in a second time zone, the wearer only has to turn the bezel counterclockwise until the desired time zone’s city is at 12 o’clock.

The new time is set automatically. The bezel is connected to the movement with a special gear train, and therefore acts directly on the hour wheel, adjusting the hand accordingly. The 24 hour markers on the flange indicate the time in other cities and whether it is day or night.

The watch has another notable feature: a 10-day power reserve, made possible by two consecutively fitted barrels. The power-reserve indicator is at 2 o’clock. Named after Jean Todt, president of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (the regulating body for Formula 1 racing), the watch has a 50- mm case, made from titanium with rose gold on the fixed bezel, the caseback, and the lugs.

It contains Caliber RM58-01, which is manually wound. Its bridges and base plate are made of titanium. The tourbillon is at 9 o’clock. The watch is being produced in a limited edition of 35 pieces and costs $620,000.
