        Technologically advanced, the TNT Royal Retro’s movement is built on the self-winding 58-jewel Dubois Depraz calibre. An oscillating weight in 22-karat gold serves as the balance for this intricate mechanism. This TNT’s central bridge is a rose-gold hexagon supporting the white and gold-colored hour and minute hands, as well as all six of the second hands on their yellow gold gears, visible below the bridge. The horns that support the watch strap are also made in rose-gold, contrasting richly with the matte titanium that comprises the rest of the case. The notched titanium bezel is numbered at the 10, 20, 40 and 50 seconds/minutes positions. At the face bottom is the date window, clean and square with black numerals on white. The 6 o’clock position is identified by VI, the only Roman numeral on the dial. Upon very close scrutiny, the left side of the V and the I are revealed to be the words “Swiss Made”.

        Hence the Split Rock line from Pierre DeRoche. Its face shape, an elongated, subtly bowed rectangle, is a complete departure from the regular circle shape that had characterized Pierre DeRoche watches to date. The backgrounds are the black raised cube “guilloche” pattern; the hour numbers are distorted to fit into the face’s corners, and several outstanding color and material palettes are available.

        The most eye-opening of these is the Orange Big Numbers chronograph. The bold, open face of this watch was designed to appeal to lovers of extreme sports who are equally at home in cyberspace. Its large hour and minute hands are colored to match the big numbers. Three chronograph functions, for 60-second timing, 60 minutes and 12 hours, are displayed with three concentric hands on the lower dial. They are accessible with the four pushbuttons mounted around the bezel.

        In its technical aspects, each Split Rock Big Numbers Chronograph performs to the high standard of all Pierre DeRoche timepieces. It has the dependable Dubois Depraz movement with oscillating balance weight. The case of brushed steel is water-resistant to 30 meters, and can withstand tremendous shock, thanks to the transparent glare-free sapphire cover. The tough, thick crocodile strap and solid steel clasp can take all the punishment a wearer can throw at it. The Orange Big Numbers strap is edged with vibrant orange stitching to match the color scheme. Each Big Numbers watch has the Chronographe Concentrique logo placed at six o’clock on the watch face.

        Should orange not be a mainstay of your color scheme, you can choose from these other Split Rock Big Numbers chronographs. The Full Black is just that: solid black in varying textures and polishes, enlivened only by a red wand and red stitching on the strap. The silver Big Numbers has a white diamond-blazoned bezel, and silver-trimmed hands on the black guilloche background. The luminous Big Numbers’ digits, clock hands and chronograph pointer all glow green in low light conditions. Last but not least, a brushed rose-gold case and big numbers dramatize the Gold limited edition Big Numbers chronograph.

        As part of their commitment to help others around the globe, Pierre DeRoche recently commissioned the creation of the Split Rock “Dare” watch. Four watches will display hand-painted art by the graffiti artist Sigi von Koeding, known as “Dare”. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will assist the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, to help young people escape from drug use and prevent it in the future. The “Dare” watch, all in blackened steel finish, has the Chronographe Concentrique logo etched into the metal bezel.

        Bring the Pierre DeRoche Split Rock Big Numbers watch into your life, and see how far from tradition you can go.

        The watch face is divided into two sectors that suggest a resemblance to a modern residential skyscraper complex, which share the curvy-sided pool between them, finished in jet black. The steel bezel, studded with sixty-four black diamonds, totalling 1.28 carats in weight, hints at the twinkling lights of the city, which now glint and then dim as the watch face is turned. The number markers for minutes on the right and hours on the left are crafted of stainless steel plated with rhodium, that is then brushed to compliment the satin-brushed steel finish of each section. Crisp black sans-serif numerals top each marker. In the center of the pool are two circular islands. The fiery red timekeeping hands, inspired by those that adorn New York’s Empire State Building, are affixed to the left circle. Each is full retrograde, popping back to its start point automatically upon completing a designated time cycle. The single red pointer in the circle at right faithfully tracks each second as it passes. The Pierre DeRoche nameplate and Double Retrograde logo stand proudly unobstructed on the watch face, above and below the central circles.

        All this beauty is contained in a solid 316L round steel case, measuring 42.5 mm (about 1.7 inches) in diameter, and a mere 14 mm (just over one-half inch) thick. The steel has been satin-brushed for a subtle glow. On the steel back of the case is a detailed engraving showing three tall skyscraper buildings, set in a circle. Above, it reads “Skyscrapers” and below, the collection name, “GrandCliff.” The superb water-resistance of the steel and sapphire case has been proven at 10 atmospheres pressure.

        A flush-mounted nonreflective sapphire glass protects the mechanism, keeping out dust and other contaminants while facilitating quick reading of the dials and hands. While you may briefly have to learn to tell time all over again, the clarity of the face and crystal will certainly help you to do so without any eyestrain.

        The technical details of the Pierre DeRoche Grandcliff Skyscrapers watch are as solid as its steel case. The self-winding movement is constructed on the highly reliable Dubois Depraz model calibre. The balance is maintained by an elaborately engraved and precision-shaped vibrating weight. The massive stem on the right is carved with three notched rings to improve handling and turning, and trimmed between the rings in vivid red. The rich black strap in genuine hand-sewn crocodile is secured with a solid 316L steel locking clasp for comfort and a long lifetime of wearability.

        As with most Pierre DeRoche watches, the diamond-studded version of the Grandcliff Double Retrograde Skyscrapers watch has been produced in a limited edition of just twenty-one units. The diamond-free Skyscrapers model continues in production. Visit a Pierre DeRoche authorized vendor soon to obtain one for yourself or someone very special.
