La Rattrapante

Taking the measure of time in all of its dimensions... that's the challenge facing the chronographe à rattrapante created for the Hommage La Chaux-de- Fonds 1738 Collection.
With a black Grand Feu enamelled dial that is
their hallmark, the watch has a complex set of red
gold hands whose perfect readability constitutes an impressive feat in itself. With its generously proportioned 45 mm red gold watchcase, the watch can measure two events starting at the same time but of different durations: in turn, the chronograph hand and the rattrapante work together or compete under the supervision of
the large date, proudly displayed in an aperture at 12 o'clock. Thanks to its tachymeter, the rattrapante can also measure the speed at which the wearer travels in kms/hour or the equivalent.
