NEW: Aria Manufacture Chronometer
The FX01 incorporates a flexible geartrain pinion engineered to eliminate backlash during time setting. By maintaining constant tension throughout the motion works, the system removes the microscopic free play typically present between gear teeth when adjusting the hands. As a result, the minute hand reacts immediately and precisely to every movement of the crown, allowing for exact synchronization with a reference time signal. Beyond improving accuracy (every movement is individually tested and certified by the COSC), the mechanism also creates a noticeably smoother and more refined experience when operating the crown, underlining the precision of the movement itself.
The FX01 has been equipped with a full silicon regulating system, including the hairspring, escape wheel, and pallet fork. Compared to traditional steel components, silicon is significantly lighter, entirely anti-magnetic, highly corrosion resistant, and operates with extremely low friction. These characteristics improve long-term stability, efficiency, and consistency while reducing the need for lubrication in critical areas of the escapement.
As a modern high-performance movement, the FX01 also features matching movement aesthetics thanks to a highly distinctive finish developed by Formex: The bridges feature galvanic black gold plating combined with vertically brushed surfaces and laser-textured cutouts that reveal some of the movement’s deeper architectural layers. Hand-brushed bevels add contrast and depth throughout the caliber. The tungsten micro-rotor itself is finished with brushed surfaces and laser-engraved with the Formex logo.
