Mechatronic movements utilize bi-directional micro-
motors to drive each of dial’s hands and disks,
offering innovative new functional modularity. These
mechatronic models with multi-modal center-mounted
hour, minute and seconds hands, and mode indicator
and date indicator subdials feature local time with
perpetual calendar, chronograph with flyback, and
countdown timer functionality. In Chronograph mode,
these models can be used to time an event up to 12
hours in duration to the nearest second.
