Watchmaking Excellence: From Classic to Custom Movement Decoration
Backes & Strauss classic collection features three types of movements: Mechanical, which is comprised of Manual and Automatic, and Quartz. However, the most exquisite of Backes & Strauss’ diamond watches house the bespoke movements.
To amplify the exclusivity of a timepiece, Backes & Strauss watchmakers decorate the movement surfaces with traditional or bespoke motifs. Alongside the classic movements, Backes & Strauss also offer bespoke movement decorations, which are generally realised on the oscillating weight and the movement bridges. Every Backes & Strauss timepiece comes with a two-year free service entitlement as well as a guarantee booklet, where you will find details on how to care for your watch movement.
This pocket watch houses the flying tourbillon manual-winding mechanism visible from the open back case, and enhanced with the moon phase complication. The bridge and the bow are set with the Ideal and baguette-cut diamonds.
