This high-end manual movement launched in
2013 is entirely manufactured by SCHWARZ
ETIENNE. 95%* of its components are conceived
in SCHWARZ ETIENNE’s workshops, based in
La Chaux-de-Fonds. This movement combines
power, modularity and aesthetic fineness.
Power
The innovative point of the MSE conception,
entirely conceived and developed by SCHWARZ
ETIENNE, is a mechanism with two barrels
coupled in parallel. That exclusive construction
allows distributing exceptional power of 1.55 µw
at the escapement of each additional module.
This ambitious construction has successfully
faced stringent technical challenges: inertia of
16 mg.cm
2
and power reserve of 4 days.
This movement has already been through
numerous wear and solidity tests and has
achieved brilliant results. Its power and
robustness guarantee the indispensable
qualities present in any high-end movement:
reliability, durability and precision.
Modularity
Like other SCHWARZ ETIENNE creations, the
development of the MSE movement is based on
the concepts of modularity and rationalization.
This innovative and patented construction is made
of one common plate and one interchanging part
that can fit either a module with an additional
barrel linked in parallel (MSE movement) or a
micro rotor module (ASE movement).
Moreover, the MSE has been designed to
integrate complication modules conceived by
SCHWARZ ETIENNE’s technical office. The
second time zone indication (GMT) and the
power reserve indicator (PRI) are even included
in the volume of the original basic movement.
Furthermore, the power reserve display can be
positioned at 09:00 or 01:30.
This modular philosophy allows anticipating
future declinations of the movement to respond
to high-end market requirements and satisfy the
demands of customers. It combines reactivity,
flexibility and competitiveness.
Refinement
Beyond its technical prowess, the MSE is
admired for its aesthetic refinement, faithful to
the traditional watchmaking spirit: the balance
specially developed for SCHWARZ ETIENNE,
with or without its symbolic SE logo in the centre,
straight Côtes de Genève decorated bridges,
polished angles, or gold rimmed wheels.
* Except for the sliding pinion, winding pinion and
assortment, all the parts of the movement are
produced in SCHWARZ ETIENNE‘s workshops.
