The original white gold case housing the 9P movement
At the time, women's watch movements were very small, and the inherently minuscule dials were rarely used as a decorative part of the watch.

This movement is not only slim, offering greater freedom of design, but also has a larger diameter, allowing the use of larger dials and providing new space for decoration. The dial was cut by a specialized atelier and is less than 1 mm thick. gérald and Valentin thought about aesthetics in a new way, starting with the dial and moving on to the bezel and strap.
