It provides the watch with exceptional timekeeping performances and a comfortable 65-hour power reserve thanks to Twin technology, a system patented by Chopard that combines two coaxial barrels, a particularly remarkable technical achievement in light of the extreme slenderness of its 3.97 mm-thick movement.
