The watch 4N MVT0/D01 watch has a simple digital display, powered by a mechanical movement. This was the main driving force behind the creation of the 4N: an opportunity to move beyond a typical analog mechanical timepiece with moving hands.
The 4N MVT0/D01 watch, while remaining within the mainstream of the new haute horlogerie, distinguishes itself by the creation of a digital display, extremely effective in its ergonomics and spectacular in its shape, never before carried out (typographical frame 5.5 mm). The brand draws its name from the four digits found on the dial face of the watch, indicating the time. 4N = 4 numbers. Not merely telling the time, but actually revealing it by the use of its unique 4-digit display, the watch relay’s time’s rhythmic movement. Resolutely masculine, and unapolegetically high-tech, the 4N houses a complex mechanism, which becomes easily inderstandable thanks to its legibility. 4N has mastered time with a modern horological concept housing a mechcanical heart – looking forward while still paying homage to the time-honoured basics of fine watch making.
The booming tone of the lettering, the excessive size of the print and the overall formal vocabulary, make this model an exclusive creation in the clock-making domain. So 4N promotes a contemporary image with mechanical tones, which stress the key-role of the clock function.
4N MVT01/D01 Watch Technical Specifications
The 4N MVT01/D01 watch is embodied in a movement of manufacture, defined by a mechanical complication with manual assembly and a 12-hour digital display. It is based on an intelligent configuration of intermittent rotating discs. Three subgroups of discs, , kept in cage structures, light up to reveal the time according to a jumping display as the minutes pass (4 discs for the hour, 5 for the minutes, and 1 for the ten minutes). The device uses a system of jump by constant force guaranteeing a minimum expenditure of energy whatever the degree of movement. The patented model solves delicate technical issues. The one size of the figures (5.5 mm) leads to a demanding implementation, based on a totally manual manufacturing process. The movement, stems from a complex setting of the kinematic discs, to solve problems of balance, inertia, and friction for optimum movement and a minimum expenditure of energy. This model is available in 18K white gold or platinum. The bracelet which may be selected from a range of high-quality materials, is mounted on the box by an automatic strap system and allows for lengthening as required. The model is also equipped with a time setting where it is easy to adjust the hour digits independently of the minutes.
All these special qualities make the 4N MVT0/D01 watch a contemporary creation that will highlight the exclusive discretion of its owners. Jumping minutes and hours
