The brand also Confrérie Horlogère will take part in the Only Watch 09 charity auction, an event that will take place on 24 September in Monaco with the aim of raising funds to help children suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. For the occasion, the watchmaker has created the prototype Tourbillon "La Clef du Temps", hand-wound calibre CH 1057 - CDT, which will be followed by a limited series of 24 pieces. The mechanism animating the timepiece allows the wearer to "set" the speed of his or her own time. By means of a three-position lever located at 10 o'clock, it is possible to change the speed at which the hours and minutes at 2 o'clock run: position 1 causes the speed of the time to be halved; position 2 causes the speed of the time to be standard; position 3 causes the speed to be doubled. The dial shows the hours, minutes, small retrograde seconds at 4 o'clock and power reserve (equal to 80 hours) at 8 o'clock.
