The development of the "PanoRetroGraph" wrote a new chapter in the horology history. Unlike other conventional chronograph wristwatches that count forwards only, this rare and unusual piece has an unique and sophisticated flyback backward countdown function provided with auditory chimes when the pre-select countdown time is expire. "Pano" refers to the large, elaborately designed date display, the panorama date. "Retro" designates the countdown function, while "Graph" represents the chronograph function for measuring short periods of time in conjunction with the fly-back function, which allows the chronograph hand to be instantly reset to zero during a measurement.
This rare and unusual white gold "PanoRetroGraph" was produced in a very limited series of only 150 pieces and the current example being offered is numbered 107.
