DC12 MaveriK

The David Candaux DC12 MaveriK is a masterfully engineered, hand-wound titanium timepiece that exemplifies the fusion of horological tradition and modern innovation. At its heart lies the C30 calibre, a seven-level movement featuring a groundbreaking double regulator mounted on the seconds’ train, supported by three patented mechanisms.

These include a central flying satellite planetary differential that calculates real-time isochronism deviations between two independent balances, a secured winding system that prevents energy backflow, and a coaxial control mechanism that separates winding and time-setting functions with precision.

The movement comprises 258 components and 45 jewels, offering a 58-hour power reserve and operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. The case, asymmetrically curved and crafted in satin-brushed and hand-polished titanium, measures 39.5 mm in diameter and is water-resistant to 50 meters.

The dial, shaped like a delicate “chip,” is made of nickel silver and features a multi-level construction with a white opal central disc, flame-blued hands, and titanium indexes. At 12 o’clock, the suspended differential completes a 60-second rotation, driving the small seconds display, while the inscription “Le Cœur et l’Esprit” at 6 o’clock reflects the philosophical essence of the watch. The caseback reveals the intricately finished movement, including two balance wheels cradled by elongated titanium bridges and a snow-grained central bridge. With a total weight of just 47.8 grams and a handmade rubber strap secured by a velcro clasp, the DC12 MaveriK is a bold statement of freedom, precision, and craftsmanship—an embodiment of David Candaux’s vision to create timepieces that live and breathe with their wearer.
