Petermann Bédat Unveils Its First Monopusher Chronograph, the Reference 2914
Petermann Bédat’s Reference 2914 is the independent watchmaking duo’s first chronograph-only watch, adapting the split-seconds model into a more compact monopusher design. Its 36.5mm platinum case features soldered lugs, a polished concave bezel, a box-shaped sapphire crystal, and a snap-on caseback. The semi-transparent sapphire dial combines laser engraving, a sector-style display, gold numerals, contrasting black rings, and handmade gold and steel hands. The hand-wound calibre 234 is a column-wheel monopusher chronograph with a horizontal clutch, jumping-minute mechanism, hand-bevelled solid-gold wheels, and a 56-hour power reserve. Its decorated movement is visible through the exhibition caseback. Limited to 20 platinum pieces, the watch is offered on an alligator strap for CHF 180,000 excluding taxes; other materials and a metal bracelet are expected later.
Buying Time Analysis: The Reference 2914 marks Petermann Bédat’s first chronograph-only watch, bringing the duo’s distinctive design and high-end movement craftsmanship to a more accessible, limited run of 20 pieces.
