Specificities:

The Academia Slide applies this basic physical principle to watchmaking in a ground-breaking way. Every hour is inscribed on a brass plate that slides along a track, guiding it to a horizontal position. It is this horizontal displayalone that shows the current hour. Next, the two central hands indicate the minutes and seconds.
