Description

This is one of the small number of examples of the Le Garde-Temps created in the more contemporary 41mm size. Bearing an early serial number, it is crafted from white gold and has a robust form. The rounded bezel is high polished while the midcase is media blasted. The substantial, yet short lugs originate from here, equal in profile to the midcase. On top, the lugs are high polished like the bezel. The crown is well proportioned – it is knurled and wears free hand engraved ‘D’ on top.

The exhibition caseback, flat and brushed, is secured by six screws. The caseback features free-hand engravings in a calligraphic font detailing the series, serial number out of 50 as well as its place of origin. This is where the precious metal hallmarks are also located.

The dial wears an elegant tuxedo colourway. The black rim includes a chapter of applied Breguet-style hours and plots, interspersed with grey printed minutes. The central section, framed by a ring and sunken, is decorated with beautiful engine turning. It plays with light, contrasting against the matte finish of the black periphery. This section also features a black arc with the brand mark. Underneath it the word ‘Geneve’ is pad printed. Overlapping with the central portion is the subsidiary seconds register. It is also framed by a ring and appears on the same plane as the sunken central portion. It wears engine turning in a concentric circular pattern and is adorned with a black printed Arabic quarter chapter of seconds. Plying the face are mirror-polished feuille-style hands.

The calibre ND01, visible through the caseback, is finely finished. The barrel bridge has an elegant, wave-like form, while the wheels of the going train are anchored by a hill-shaped bridge. The jewels on which these wheels pivot are ensconced in gold chatons. The single barrel provides the calibre with 72 hours of reserve. It has been adjusted to five positions.

The regulator atop the balance bridge is black polished, as is the cock on the escape bridge. The Côtes de Genève on the bridges is consistent and elegant, while the edges of the bridges are finished with fine anglage. A golden plaque on the bridge anchoring the going train is engraved with the watch’s serial number of out 50. All engravings on the caseback, crown and on the movement are the work of engraver Mosquera whom Delaloye encountered during his time at Patek Philippe.

The watch comes on an 20mm wide black alligator-grained leather strap secured by a white gold, signed deployant clasp. The set includes the outer and inner boxes and warranty paperwork.

In this modern iteration, the Delaloye Le Garde-Temps, is one of a small number created by one of the best respected and experienced watchmakers embarking on an independent path again.

This Delaloye Le Garde-Temps ND01 is in excellent overall condition. The case and lugs show very light superficial marks, though only on the very surface of the material. The dial, hands, and movement are free from any signs of imperfections and have been well preserved. On the caseback and buckle, the hallmarks are crisp and well defined.
