The second model introduced by Daniel Roth is a dress watch with just two hands and was developed and produced by La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton
The Extra Plat Souscription is faithful to the original model of the 1990s in style and craft, but entirely new in terms of mechanics, with the DR002 movement developed especially for the watch. It is presented in an 18k yellow gold case and dial decorated with hand-made clou de Paris guilloche. Measuring 35.5 mm wide and 38.6 mm lengthwise, the case is thinner than the Tourbillon Souscription at 7.70mm high – a result of the ultra-thin 3.1mm-thick DR002 movement inside. The guilloche dial is made with time-honoured artisanal methods, with each dial comprising two parts, the base and an applied chapter ring – both of solid 18k yellow gold and engine-turned by hand on antique restored machines. The technical underpinnings of the DR002 are sophisticated. The 4Hz balance wheel is free-sprung and made up of four arms, each with a variable inertia weight for regulation, promising superior and stable timekeeping over prolonged periods. The single large mainspring delivers a 65-hour power reserve. The Extra Plat Souscription is a limited edition of 20 pieces with delivery starting in January 2025, to be followed by an Extra Plat model that will join the Daniel Roth catalogue.
