During the 1990s and early 2000s, the brand focused on classical Swiss watchmaking rather than chasing trends, producing elegant complicated watches in relatively small numbers. Among them, the Ref. 1186 remains one of the standout references.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"767\"\u003eIts split-seconds, or \u003cem data-start=\"427\" data-end=\"440\"\u003erattrapante\u003c\/em\u003e, chronograph is one of the most technically sophisticated complications in watchmaking.
