One-off piece in blackened stainless steel. Christophe Schaffo’s artistic creativity, technique and craftsmanship are outstanding and renowned around the world. He painstakingly stamped, cut and milled to minimise the material used for the calibre 100.5 in the ATUM ‘Schaffo’. The result is a masterpiece of skeletonisation.
The functionality and beauty of the mechanism in this skeleton watch are apparent at first sight. The dial consists of an elegant, narrow ribbon of rhodium-plated German silver featuring the minute markers, revealing the exquisitely finished movement, where each component has been chamfered, chased and engraved by hand. Every part of the movement mechanism demonstrates the artistry and technique that went into making this timepiece. Blackened stainless steel is used for the case, winding crown and pusher which – along with the black alligator leather strap – form a stunning contrast to the dial. Calibre 100.5. Engraving 1/ 1.
