From the Monochrome article:
"Under the hood, the Tiffany Timer houses a movement with great pedigree –
and one that also makes perfect sense from a “Group” perspective with a
customised El Primero 400,
the iconic chronograph from sister brand Zenith. The El Primero 400 is
the most direct descendant of the Zenith integrated, high-frequency
automatic chronograph. It beats at 5Hz and delivers 50 hours of power
reserve."
Maybe it’s right 🤷♂️ I consider in house more of the workshop that the watch is coming from but what do I know? Plus I like the slight rings around the subdials
I welcome the fact that Tiffany finally took possession of the “Tiffany dial”, and except the “in-house” movement not being in-house it’s an appropriate workhorse for this watch. I can even accept the diamond markers since judging by the pictures they’re not to massive. I know the “date police” will criticize it, but it’s acceptable(to me). And honestly at $55K it’s surely expensive, but compared to what other brands charge for a platinum chronograph, I say it’s reasonable. The only question is, why are the pushers so big, not PT and white gold clasp???
I’m not sure whether to say “bonza” or “innit”. Let’s go with “Bonza, innit!” !

Apologies to any Australian or English Purists I may have offended. But my qualifications are solid; childhood years of Neighbours, Home and Away, Corrie and Eastenders among others !
Just listened to SJX talking about LV releases and his comment I think on this was it’s essentially Act I. They have more capabilities to build on this.
