THE COMPLICATIONS & FEATURES
IofII
THE BIG DATE DISPLAY
Right under the dial, a pair of discs indicate the date. One is dedicated to the tens, the other to the units. Once properly coordinated, they work in unison to display the date in a larger window, in a large font, resulting in optimal readability.

THE POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
A hand-wound movement requires a little upkeep : it has to be wound before its power reserve is fully exhausted. The power reserve indicator is a precious instrument when it comes to wearing such a timepiece as Palatial Classic Big Date. Once the hand gets too close to zero, it's time to wind the crown and fill the proverbial tank.
