MCT presents Dōdekal One

MCT presents the Dōdekal One – D110, the first mechanical watch featuring an innovative digital hours display in the centre of the dial – to mark its tenth anniversary

MCT, or the Manufacture Contemporaine du Temps, is a haute horlogerie brand that prides itself on the technical expertise that it brings to design creation, and its latest creation is a good case in point. The manufacture’s newest offering is the Dōdekal One, which is driven by a new Manufacture movement, Calibre D1, and draws inspiration from 1970s electronic watches.

The engineers of MCT Watches have used a complex set of cams and carriages to display the hours in the forms of segments in the dial centre, placing this model in a whole new dimension. The hours transition is effected by the translational motion of the segments over 2.5 seconds, offering an original and magical sight, while the minutes are displayed by a flying hand.

A regulating organ serves to enable optimal management of the energy required for these animations, while ensuring a 50-hour power reserve for the self-winding movement, driven by a gold micro-rotor. The Dōdekal One debuts an elegant cushion-shaped case that measures 43 MM along its sides and is distinguished by finely crafted lugs shaped like twisted leaves.

With the Dōdekal One, MCT Watches is continuing its approach of constantly reinventing the display of time and once again proves that there are no limits to performance and mechanical creativity in the field of watchmaking. Available in titanium or titanium black DLC & 5N pink gold, the Dōdekal One – D110 is issued in a 25-piece limited series of each version.
