Atelier de Chronométrie AdC99

Following the creation of the AdC17, Atelier de Chronométrie has released the AdC99, marking the house's third and final split-seconds chronograph. Adorned with a three-counter two-tone salmon dial and applied Breguet numerals, the timepiece is powered by a calibre based on the Venus 185. The AdC99 is presented in a teardrop lugs case with a matching handmade bracelet, both meticulously handcrafted in 18k grey gold.

Case

A handcrafted elegant tear-drop lugs case with concave bezel made in 18k grey gold with a handcrafted bracelet designed with the same pattern.

Dial 

The two-tone salmon dial with applied Breguet numerals offers an extraordinary timeless look to the entire composition. The work on the 7 handmade hands (18k grey gold and blued steel).

Movement

The caliber is based on a Venus 185 with 3 counters that we purchased especially for this project. We have rebuilt the calibre with new shapes, components and we have spent a special part of the work making the best high-end finishes as well as improving its accuracy to our standards.
