HALF TIME
Driven by his original idea and philosophy, Ludovic Ballouard went on to create his second model, the Half Time, which was presented in January of 2012. The Half Time continues with the idea of presenting time in an unusual way with a highly complicated jumping hour movement, which perpetually reminds you that the most important time is the present.
PATENTE
Patented manual winding complication by Ludovic Ballouard: calibre B02.
ENGRAVING
All cases and crowns are engraved by hand in Geneva.
MOVEMENT
The principle is simple: all the hour indexes are divided in two, therefore unreadable… All except the one showing the current hour. The rotation of two disks « reconstitutes » each index, allowing time to be read. The watch therefore carries no hour hands. A retrograde hand, set on a half-circle at 6 o’ clock indicates the minutes in a classical manner.
