Jubilé: Régulateur

In 1926, Max Bürgin, the founder of Montres Charmex SA, started his apprenticeship as a watchmaker in Bubendorf, Switzerland. Today, Montres Charmex SA is still owned and run by the Bürgin family and to commemorate our 80th Anniversary we have launched a new line of automatic models in 2006.

The JUBILÉ 1926 – 2006 COLLECTION consists of five high-end mechanical timepieces, sporting the same state-of-the-art case but using different Swiss Made® mechanical movements with several complications and manufactured to the highest standards of our industry. Of each model a limited edition of only 200 watches is manufactured. The discerning collector has the option of subscribing to the complete JUBILÉ 1926 – 2006 COLLECTION. Each year one model of this collector’s series is launched, the fifth timepiece to be unveiled in 2010 together with a luxury wooden collector’s box for all five timepieces. It took our watchmakers over a year to design and manufacture the case of our JUBILÉ 1926 – 2006 timepiece.

It is made up of four individual pieces, each with a tolerance of less than 1/10 mm. The conical form of the holes in the case back ensures the case back itself will not be scratched when screwing in the screws. These blue screws are in harmony with the blued and polished steel hands, the blue print of the Régulateur display, the blue screws of the lug ends and those of the Limited Edition plate and the movement. The elegant angle on the outside of the lug ends adds a playful note without infringing on the purist design of the case. The Limited Edition plate is engraved with the serial number of your timepiece and the blue color of the engraving again matches the blue of the screws.

The movement of our JUBILÉ 1926 – 2006 Régulateur is based on the Swiss Made® ETA automatic cal. 2892-A2. The rotor is rhodium plated, snailed and sports the Côte de Genève decoration. Engraved on it, in blue, is our logo. The bridge is circular-grained, the edges chamfered and the screws blued.
