The movement
The movement is specially made from scratch for this watch. The luxury aspect comes mainly from the micro-rotor mechanism. Normally, an automatic rotor is placed on top of a movement, while here the rotor is placed between the bridges. The alpinism part comes from the height lines of the Nanga Parbat (like on an old map) engraved in the bridges, filled with BGW9 SuperLuminova. This lights up bright blue in the night, memorating the permafrost on the top of the mountain.
