Grade 5 titanium diver, 200 m
A smaller, lighter Abysse: 39 mm in bead-blasted grade 5 titanium, 74 grams on its rubber strap, with a brushed steel bezel insert engraved rather than printed. The graphite dial has a fine vertical grain that turns from grey to near-black as the light moves.
Inside is the VH-20 without a date, so the dial stays symmetrical. Water resistance is 200 m with a screw-down crown, and the caseback is solid titanium engraved with the Geneva diving club’s 1979 crest.
Complimentary insured delivery, signed for on receipt, across Switzerland, the EU, the UK and the US - dispatched from the Geneva atelier within two business days in a numbered presentation box with the certificate of origin and chronometric test sheet. Thirty-day returns on unworn pieces with the seals intact.

I logged the Lac 38 against an atomic reference for thirty days: plus eleven seconds in total, well inside the published −2/+4. Winding it each morning has become a ritual, and the 70 hours means a weekend off the wrist is no problem.
A VH-01 that had not run in twenty years. The atelier replaced the mainspring and two jewels, left the patinated dial exactly as it was, and sent photos of the movement before and after. Not cheap, but I would not trust it to anyone else.
Over a hundred dives on the Abysse 300 and the bezel still clicks cleanly through all 120 positions. The rubber strap channels really do stop it sticking. Lume fades faster than I would like after an hour in the dark, hence the only nitpick.
Jumping the local hour on landing without stopping the watch is exactly what I wanted. The bracelet micro-adjust is brilliant on long-haul flights. I would have liked a slightly thinner case, but it sits well under a cuff.
