Minimalist Refinement 

       This timepiece features an ingenious single-button chronograph mechanism capable of timing intervals 60. The chronograph pusher is integrated into the crown and is almost imperceptible at first glance. Starting, stopping, and resetting the chronograph function can be effortlessly achieved by repeatedly pressing this multi-function pusher. A third press returns all chronograph displays to zero. This straightforward switching mechanism also highlights the aesthetic considerations of the watch's design, exuding a sense of understated elegance. Despite the addition of the chronograph complication, the Portofino Hand-Wound Monopusher Chronograph retains a minimalist style, gradually revealing its various functions upon closer inspection.

Understated luxury style

       With a case diameter of 37 mm, the understated luxury aligns perfectly with the style of this highly regarded watch family. The moon phase display is exceptionally classic: the moon alternately appears amidst clouds and floats beneath a starry night sky. The central sweep seconds hand can be stopped via the crown, and the watch is fitted with a double anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass. The mother-of-pearl dial, set with 12 fine diamonds, shimmers with a soft radiance, imparting a charming sense of depth while accentuating the clean design of the dial.
