Calibre M-01 · Hand-finished in Le Locle

A quieter measure of time.

Meridian builds fewer than three hundred watches a year. Each movement is assembled, adjusted and finished by one watchmaker, whose initials are engraved beneath the balance.

02 · The dial

Fired eleven times, at eight hundred degrees.

Grand feu enamel is ground glass fused to a copper disc in a kiln. Every firing can crack the last; a dial that survives all eleven is the only one we keep. Scroll to move through the heat. Move your pointer to disturb the glaze.

03 · Four complications

Everything the hour needs. Nothing it does not.

01

Perpetual calendar

Knows the length of every month, and every leap year, until 2100. It corrects itself at midnight with a single jump you will never hear.

02

Moonphase

A lapis disc tracks the moon to one day's error in 122 years. It is set once, against the real sky above the workshop, on the night the watch is cased.

03

Split-seconds chronograph

Two hands run together and part on command, timing the lap and the race at once. An isolator spares the balance from the effort of dragging the second hand.

04

Minute repeater

Strikes the hours, quarters and minutes on two gongs tuned a fourth apart. Cased in gold, because gold sings the loudest.

04 · The night sky

Set to the sky above the bench.

Every moonphase leaves the workshop calibrated against the real moon on the night it is cased. The stars below are drifting. Bring your pointer close and they gather.

Time, kept quietly.

05 · The house

Meridian makes fewer watches in a year than most houses make in a week. That is not a limitation. It is the point. Every case is opened, regulated in six positions, and closed by the same pair of hands.
