A lot of watches tend to lose depth in their dials in the quest for thinness. Mistral's dial is the opposite; it features five different pieces at three different heights, and features polished and brushed chamfers, adding a 3-dimensional aspect to it. The dial's minimal branding highlights the main focal point, a reflective center panel with 18k gold and silver foil on certain variants. Finally, a domed and coated sapphire crystal enhances the dimensionality of the design without any unnecessary visual aberrations.
We knew from the very beginning that we wanted the movement inside of Mistral to be special. We based Calibre 2105 on the ETA 7001, a reliable workhorse movement, ensuring its long-term serviceability. We created several iterations of modified bridges and plates, and experimented with various coatings. Every change on the movement can affect the performance, and developing this calibre took over two years.
Mistral was designed with thinness in mind. We had a vision for the overall appearance of the watch, and particularly, the soldered lugs — however, it wouldn't be possible to maintain the thinness and water resistance with a traditional construction, so we went back to the drawing board. We came up with an innovative shell-style solution to address this, which hides all seams while allowing for intricate polishing of the filleted lug edges.
