The overall designer of the base calibre and chronograph module for the calibre was manel guerin master watchmaker along with head of dept for development Jean Claude Meylan with case and strap design by Daniel wild and janek deleskiewicz and Francis cretin ( bet he got ribbed at school!,)various patents for bracelet are under Daniel wilds name
More time was spent designing this reverso than the minute repeater and more difficult
I also have one with Linton numerals with black dial and stainless steel bracelet and in my opinion is one of the finest manual wind
Chronographs evermade and is a masterpiece in design and will be up there with victorin piguet Patek philippe designed modules for chronographs in years to come
Fattened bones!,
