The Galet Micro-Rotor features an attractive but understated dial which belies a powerful in house caliber; the FBN 229.01. Though likely named for its impressive solid gold micro-rotor, it is the double direct-impulse escapement that ensures the highest level of efficiency. Within this escapement, two balance springs move in alternating beats fitted directly on the balance equipped with a silicon lever. This action helps to produce constant force, or more consistent timing throughout.
