ZN RC TE Titanium

This extraordinary limited-edition timepiece presents an avant-garde reinterpretation of a centuries-old watchmaking tradition inspired by historic pocket watches featuring hidden mechanical surprises. Introduced as a highly exclusive production, it transforms this heritage into a contemporary expression through an innovative complication that displays randomly generated romantic and playful phrases using three engraved Grade 5 titanium rollers. Combining technical ingenuity with artistic creativity, it stands as one of the most unconventional and collectible creations in modern haute horlogerie.

The 50 × 42.7 × 16.15mm tripartite tonneau-shaped case is crafted entirely from Grade 5 titanium—an aerospace-grade alloy prized for its exceptional strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance. Secured with titanium spline screws and fitted with sapphire crystals on both the front and back, the case offers water resistance to 50 meters. The openworked dial reveals the intricate movement architecture, featuring the rotating message display, a tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock, a power reserve indicator at 4 o’clock, and retractable hour and minute hands. A pusher at 10 o’clock activates the rotating rollers to generate a new randomized phrase, while another pusher retracts the hands to provide an unobstructed view of the display before automatically returning them to the correct timekeeping position.

At its heart is a hand-wound movement composed of 505 components and 41 jewels, operating at 3 Hz (21,600 vph) with an impressive 69-hour power reserve. Built around a Grade 5 titanium baseplate and bridges, the movement showcases exceptional finishing, including circular graining, beveling, mirror polishing, hand-finished sinks, and satin-finished micro-blasted surfaces enhanced by PVD treatment. Completing the design is a black rubber strap secured by a titanium double-folding deployant clasp, reinforcing its blend of technical performance, exclusivity, and innovative craftsmanship.

This is a limited edition of 30 pieces.
