Keep it simple - and do it well!
No complications - just a really well finished movement and a well executed design. My favorite automatic movement - where the rotor plays a starring role as opposed to just hiding the bridges and wheels.
A beautiful automatic movement. We should start a thread about the nicest automatic movements!
Maybe a pretty short thread🤣.
JLC have a number of interesting contenders - Calibre 950 and the Hybris 11 - but not sure they are in the spirit of the competition!
I understand the movement was developed
with the help of Andreas Strehler. He has now launched a similarly specked watch under his new brand Strehler (different from his existing brand Andreas Strehler - the watch is named Sirna.
That is correct.
The G-06 movement in the Principia and the SA-30 in the Sirna were both developed by Strehler (as well as the Vianney Halter U30-A). He’s a busy man - also developed the HMC 341 for Moser. Here’s a link to an interesting article -

Not easy to source his high horology works - maybe someday!😉

I didn’t know that thanks for the article and
congrats with the beautiful watch, especially the movement is just beautiful
Thanks for the link - I find SJX's articles
very interesting and informative. And congratulations with the Principia - surely a stunner!
Superb movement indeed but…
…not only the movement, everything in the Principia is superb: the dial, the thin case, the watch all together, and finally your photos too are awesome 😎👏👏
Unless I am mistaking Andreas (whose nickname in the industry is « the watchmaker of the watchmakers ») has first developed the Remontoire movement of the G brothers before the one of the Principia.
