Lot Essay

Consigned by an important private collector, the present watch is a prototype for this series and is numbered 0 of a limited edition of 200 examples only and is in "Like New" overall condition.

A true masterpiece of micromechanics, the Dumoetre Quantieme Lunaire is a new interpretation of the revolutionary "Dual-Wing" concept, featuring two independent power reserves, one of which, in this case, is devoted solely to precise time measurement while the other takes care of the functional displays. Associated with the 'Dual-Wing' concept, the zero/reset system for seconds and the jumping stop seconds ensures accuracy to the nearest 1/6th second when setting the timepiece.
