The Récital 30 is a smaller, daily wear version of last year’s Récital 28, the first mechanical timekeeper to solve the Daylight Saving Time problem. World time watches were previously unable to adapt to DST start and end times in different countries, but an innovative roller system allows the Récital 30 and Récital 28 to display 25 global time zones (including local time in New Delhi, India) during the four time periods of the year—Coordinated Universal Time, American Summer Time, European and American Summer Time, and European Winter Time. The Récital 28 was limited to 60 pieces, and while the Récital 30 is not limited, only 30 can be produced in 2025. It’s semi-customizable: buyers can change the city names, as well as choose from several colors of the 24-hour dial and the minute track. There are two versions: one in 18-karat red gold and the other in titanium.
Case Size: 42 mm
Case Material: 18-karat red gold or titanium
Power Reserve: 62 hours
Strap: Rubber
Price: Titanium, CHF 68,000; red gold, CHF 96,800
