1902 Petite Seconde Silver

Schwarz Etienne 1902 Petite Seconde offers a refined dress-watch profile marrying elegant design with high-performance in-house engineering. Crafted in Grade 5 titanium, the 39 mm case measures 10.90 mm thick and 50 m water-resistant. Both a domed sapphire crystal (front) and an exhibition sapphire case-back are used to showcase visual polish. Dial features include a grained central disk, an opaline-finished chapter ring, silver (or alternate) colouring, diamond-shaped edging, clearly-printed minute tracks, and Lancine-style polished silver hands for hours and minutes. The small seconds register sits at 6 o’clock.

Schwarz Etienne’s Calibre ASE 300.00 powers this timepiece. Automatic micro-rotor movement runs at 3 Hz (21,600 vph), stores around 86 hours of power reserve, contains ≈191 components and 29 jewels. Movement finishing includes six bridges with polished angles, circular/Côtes de Genève decoration, sandblasted mainplate, chevron motif on the micro-rotor, sunray decoration on ratchet wheel, and hand-polished teeth. Schwarz Etienne Strap pairs blue alligator with black rubber lining; buckle is a titanium pin/ardillon style engraved with Schwarz Etienne logo. 1902 Petite Seconde stands out for blending lightweight materials, a slim profile (thanks to micro-rotor design), and detailed finishing. Excellent choice for someone seeking Swiss technical craftsmanship in a dress-watch that’s both elegant and robust.
