Vilhelm – Bicompax Column-Wheel Automatic Chronograph – Panda

Description

Column-Wheel – Elevating Chronograph Movements to Excellence:

Experience the exceptional Vilhelm Watches Bicompax, fueled by the flawless La Joux-Perret Column Wheel Automatic Chronograph reference L113.

Heralded as the “Gold-Standard” by chronograph connoisseurs, column-wheel movements grace the creations of ultra high-end luxury brands like Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe. These movements, known for their superiority over CAM chronographs, boast fully integrated constructions that utilize a vertical column wheel for a more efficient and robust chronograph function, contrasting with the modular and less sophisticated nature of CAM chronographs.

A must-have for any chronograph enthusiast or connoisseur, the cost of crafting such a movement is significant, particularly in Swiss-made timepieces, adding to their exclusivity and value.

Vintage-Inspired Ergonomic Case:

The vintage-inspired case, sized at a wearable 40.5mm with a lug-to-lug of 49mm, gracefully wraps the wrist. Cleverly managing thickness, the side-profile design features top and bottom polished bevels surrounding a sandblasted matte finished curved band, drawing attention to its slim-profile. This illusion makes the watch appear thinner than its 14.5mm height from the top of the sapphire glass to the bottom of the caseback.

Two Stunning Dials:

• Choose between the Blue “Skipper” dial, exhibiting a delightful blend of neon-orange over dark and light blue tones, reminiscent of retro chronographs from the 60s, or the Panda dial with a white background hosting tricolour-grey-scale subdials and subtle red accents for eye-catching contrast.
• Limited to a small 50-piece production run per dial, this release commemorates Vilhelm Watches’ first Chronograph model launch.
• Each watch includes a matching racing-style padded calf leather strap and an integrated steel sports bracelet, offering versatility between a smart and sleek look or a dressed-down and fun casual appearance.
• All watches come with a new leather 3-watch travel pouch, and Vilhelm Watches are covered by a 1-year international warranty.
