Maîtres du Temps is more than a brand; it is a concept. When Steven Holtzman founded the Swiss company in 2005, his vision was to gather the finest master watchmakers around the world to produce the most innovative pieces of our era. Time after time, this vision has been realized as Maîtres du Temps shocked the world of watches with powerful collaborations between various watchmaking giants, including the eponymous owner-watchmakers of Speake-Marin, Roger Dubuis, Christopher Claret and Daniel Roth.

At the frontier of horology, the watchmaker’s latest invention is Chapter Three Reveal, a synergistic symphony between world-acclaimed independents Kari Voutilainen and Andreas Strehler. The influence of both watchmakers is prominent in this timepiece: designed by Voutilainen, its SHC03 movement is endowed with the superlative fine finishing for which he is famous; developed by Strehler, its ingenious “reveal” opening/closing mechanism provides an elegant resolution to the compromise between functionality and refinement - both are maximized and pushed to new heights.

This year, Sotheby’s has the honor of presenting the one and only piece released in pink gold with a black dial. The uniqueness of the watch is further accentuated by a dedicated engraving of 1/1 on the band. Chapter Three Reveal is the perfect homage to horology that only the most discerning watch collector deserves.
