DESCRIPTION

The reference 2240 are powered by splendid hand-wound movements based on the UJ&S P4 proprietary movement. Developed with Chronode, the P4 movement shares the same architecture as the P8 movement but it features a conventional Swiss lever escapement instead of a pivoted detent escapement. This large movement (32.00mm) is a twin-barrel construction offering a 60-hour power reserve and running at 21’600 vibrations per hour. It features a stop seconds mechanism for precise adjustment. It is beautifully finished with Geneva stripes radiating from the balance wheel. The shape of the bridges is highlighted with meticulous anglage, specifically eye-catching on the magnificent open-worked cross-wide balance bridge. Jewels sinks and recesses are finely polished. Screws are thermally blued. During the delicate process performed with a flame, screws must be heated at a very precise temperature to obtain the right identical color. The click and its visible click spring is another notable eye-catching detail.

The intermediate crown position now advances the hour hand independently to the rest of the gear train, which continues to run. This is both useful for daylight savings time as well as for when travel resumes globally. Both hands can of course be adjusted together in the third crown position, where the movement also hacks.
