The Chronometre a Resonance model was launched in 2000. The Calibre 1499 movement uses two balance wheels, beating in resonance with one another, in order to keep time more accurately and eliminate deviation. The winding crown is at 12 o’clock, and the seconds hands is synchronized by the crown at 4 o’clock.

The watch has a sapphire caseback, featuring the two independent gear-trains set on a single plate.
