The figures speak for themselves: from the first sketch to the delivery of the first timepiece, nearly 11,000 hours of work were required. The 747 components in each movement, including 477 in the chain alone, are created individually. Just cutting and polishing the pinion leaves using a pearwood grinding wheel involves an entire day's work. Finishing a wheel takes three days. Despite its simple geometry, the mainplate features 126 sinks of eight different diameters, 90 of which are polished using roller cutters, boxwood pegs and polishing pastes.

In addition, the quality control of the decorations is carried out using a 6.7x magnifying glass, according to the same criteria as all other Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud models.
