Table clock NT 6 „La brillante“
Timepiece with great attention to detail
Imbued with decades of consummate horological experience we have given free rein to our constant urge for unusual innovation - and this is the hallmark of the table clock NT 6 “La brillante”.
The escape wheel is a radiant manifestation in this creation. Extra-large and mounted centrally in the skeletonized main plates, it dominates the entire clockwork. It engages perfectly with the half second anchor escapement to divide the feather-light gearing into small, precisely measured portions.

Oversized escape wheel in focus
And since clockwork never consists only of one wheel, all further wheels of the “La brillante” are mounted in a floating rhodium plated bridge between the main plates. The fourteen-day running movement is finished by hand with meticulous attention to detail and is gilded with pure yellow gold or rhodium finished to order.
The intensive ruby-red of the jewel bearings bestows a colored accent and is at the same time the classic indication for durability. Aesthetic, flame-blued pear shaped hands glide over a fine matte black chapter ring with Roman numerals. The “La brillante” sits on two columns, standing majestically on a stable, silver-anodized aluminum foundation. A beautifully conceived glass canopy with five facetted panes protects this exquisite timekeeper from dust in the air. The NT 6 “La brillante” is truly a clock which inspires and reveals new ideas in a classically beautiful form.
Retrograde seconds indication as additional complication
An additional complication is available for the collection of table clocks. With the models NT 6 “La gracieuse” and NT 6 ”La brillante” a retrograde seconds indication can be ordered. Every minute, a gilded hand describes an angle of 90° before making a return jump to begin the next 60 seconds. The hand sits on a small column between the two main columns on which the movement is mounted. The black segment with its glossy white printing blends perfectly with the main dial of the clock.
