A Salman Times & Co. wristwatch in rose gold rotates from front-facing to three-quarter profile as it disassembles along its central axis — crystal, bezel, skeletonised dial, gear trains, twin balance wheels, rotor, caseback and alligator strap drifting apart into a floating horizontal stack.
Salman Times& Co.
Time, laid bare.
I — The Dial
A perpetual calendarwith nothing to hide.
The dial is not a face but an aperture. Openworked to the chapter ring, it leaves the going train visible from the first glance — while a moonphase in aventurine holds true to a single day’s drift in 122 years.
II — The Movement
407 components.Zero shortcuts.
Twin balance wheels beat in opposition, their rates averaged by a differential so positional error cancels itself. Fifty-one rubies. Bridges bevelled and black-polished by hand — including the flanks no owner will ever see.
III — The Hand
Assembled by one watchmaker,start to finish.
No station line, no shared bench. Every calibre is built, regulated and signed by a single pair of hands over eleven months.

Calibre ST 4407 — bridges, wheels and jewels
The Atelier — Vallée de Joux
Eleven months at asingle bench.
A calibre leaves our workshop only once the watchmaker who began it is willing to sign it. There is no line, no hand-off, no second opinion to hide behind. The bevels are cut with a boxwood peg and diamantine paste, at an angle no machine holds patiently enough to reproduce.

The skeletonising is subtractive work, and subtractive work is unforgiving: every gram removed from a bridge is a gram of rigidity the escapement no longer has. What remains is decided by hand, in profile, under a loupe — the material pared back until the movement is nearly all light, and not one cut further.
Twin balance wheels were not chosen for symmetry. Two oscillators beating in opposition, coupled through a differential, report a single averaged rate — so the error a watch accumulates lying crown-up is quietly cancelled by the error it accumulates crown-down.
The perpetual calendar mechanism carries the Gregorian rule in brass and steel: 1,461 days per cycle, the leap year included, needing no correction from its owner until the first of March, 2100.
