3 HISTORY 3 HISTORY Schwarz Etienne has always been revered as a creator and manufacturer of high value and innovative mechanical timepieces and movements. These movements are principally intended for the brand s own products and for a specific clientele, appreciative of extraordinary feats of craft and exceptional design. Schwarz Etienne was established in the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds during the Golden Age of Swiss watchmaking. Paul Arthur Schwarz and his wife Olga Etienne, founders of the brand in 1902, created what has become a forerunner of the watch industry. The unique identity of La Chaux-de-Fonds, a city built by and for the watchmaking industry, was recently recognized when it achieved UNESCO World Heritage status. The growing reputation that Schwarz Etienne has enjoyed overtime has seen the company produce watches for prestigious brands including Dunhill, Coventry-Jaguar, Chanel, Mauboussin, Caran d Ache, Mellerio dits Meller, Waterman and Bally. C. Wilhelm & Cie SA, marks the beginning of its association with sole shareholder Raffaello Radicchi, who took over Schwarz Etienne in 2003 and a recent revival heralded by the emergence of new markets and propelled by a continuous evolution.

4 COLLECTION LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS The La Chaux-de-Fonds collection pays tribute to this unique watchmaking town and its master-craftsmen who have created and produced so many exceptional watches. Each piece is unique: infused with the spirit of the Art Nouveau movement, of which the Neuchâtel mountains have preserved many concrete testimonies, it reveals a delightful transparency offering a visual journey to the very centre of time.

5 Swiss manufacturer Schwarz Etienne presents its latest exceptional creation in rose gold, in white gold Palladium 210 or steel casing: the Tourbillon La Chaux-de- Fonds TSE timepieces. Whether housed in rose gold, grey or steel casing, their intricate and exquisite conception and the masterful and careful craft of their watchmakers becomes immediately apparent. In the form of Irréversible, the timepieces are blessed with a mechanical movement with an automatic winding mechanism. The tourbillon wheel, raised and given prominence at 1 o clock offers a privileged view of this feature by providing a genuine sense of depth. Furthermore, the microrotor, decentred at 9 o clock, bestows a complexity to this exceptional timepiece and an audacity through a most ingenious mechanical combination. The Tourbillon TSE features a power reserve of three and a half days. The dials, whether silver or anthracite-esque, possess a grained flange a recognisable trademark of Schwarz Etienne. Designed to be both legible and structured, these dials live in harmony with the motors which drive them. At the same time bringing to life three key components the barrel, micro-rotor and the tourbillon. The hours of the dial, stylised in Roman numerals, the gold models have applique Roman numeral hour makers while the steel version models makers are cut out and coated with green superluminova. The hand-sewn alligator bracelets, available in shades of black, grey or brown seamlessly match the tone of the dials and are animated by the vivid colours of their lining. MOVEMENT TSE In presenting its La Chauxde-Fonds TSE tourbillons, Schwarz Etienne proves to be one of the very few manufacturers able to showcase its capability of being entirely autonomous in producing all component parts of the assortment. This is owed to the skill of its sister company and partner E 2 O Innovations, who specialise in this type of production. The arrival on the market of its own, entirely crafted and manufactured calibre, reinforces the standing of Schwarz Etienne as one of the great names in haute horlogerie.

10 ROSWELL 17 Following the presentation of a new movement and a range of timepieces in 2015, Schwarz Etienne now introduces Voyage from its Roswell collection. An original calibre model, this is an exceptional, refined and distinctive timepiece. Among its foremost features, is a water and airtight capsule sealed underneath the calibre, designed to protect a fragment of rock from the most famous of Swiss mountains. One carved according to its recognisable profile and delicately placed on an aerial blue background. A precious feature which offers a veritable piece of Switzerland the watchmaking country and confides its owner with a treasured secret. The Roswell Voyage travels in its distinctive steel case one which crowns the Irréversible Schwarz Etienne (ISE) manufactured movement. An inverted movement it offers a glimpse of both the balance wheel and the decentred microrotor at 9 o clock. Its peculiarity lies in the laser-cut oscillating weight cover which carves out a silhouette of the emblematic Swiss mountain and its distinctive north face. The timepiece s black dial is enhanced by a sunburst whose rays escape from the small second hand at 11 o clock to complete the scene of a sun rising from behind a mountainous peak. Hence, when the celestial body of the day rises and its counterpart in the evening sets, a perpetual dialogue is established between their visible and hidden sides. With the launch of its Roswell collection, Schwarz Etienne heralded the discovery of a new universe. Now it is time to continue the expedition into the heart of the Swiss Alps, with a timepiece like no other.

12 COLLECTION ROMA MANUFACTURE The Roma collection draws inspiration from the most timeless aspects of this city with its 28 centuries of history. The classic spirit permeates these watches, suffusing them with the understated elegance so entirely in tune with their nature. Their pure lines lend them a force and a presence that transcend time.

13 22 ROMA MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT MSE MANUAL SCHWARZ ETIENNE Manual movement with double barrels, manufactured by Schwarz Etienne This high-end manual movement launched in 2013 is entirely manufactured by Schwarz Etienne. 95%* of its components are conceived in Schwarz Etienne s workshops, based in La Chauxde-Fonds. This movement combines power, modularity and aesthetic fineness. Power The innovative point of the MSE conception, entirely conceived and developed by Schwarz Etienne, is a mechanism with two barrels coupled in parallel. That exclusive construction allows distributing exceptional power of 1.55 µw at the escapement of each additional module. This movement has already been through numerous wear and solidity tests and has achieved brilliant results. Its power and robustness guarantee the indispensable qualities present in any high-end movement: reliability, durability and precision. Modularity Like other Schwarz Etienne creations, the development of the MSE movement is based on the concepts of modularity and rationalization. This innovative and patented construction is made of one common plate and one interchanging part that can fit either a module with an additional barrel linked in parallel (MSE movement) or a micro rotor module (ASE movement). Moreover, the MSE has been designed to integrate complication modules conceived by Schwarz Etienne s technical office. The second time zone indication (GMT) and the power reserve indicator (PRI) are even included in the volume of the original basic movement. Furthermore, the power reserve display can be positioned at 09:00 or 01:30. This modular philosophy allows anticipating future declinations of the movement to respond to high-end market requirements and satisfy the demands of customers. It combines reactivity, flexibility and competitiveness. * Except for the sliding pinion, winding pinion and assortment, all the parts of the movement are produced in Schwarz Etienne s workshops. MAIN TECHNICAL FEATURES Manual winding Double barrels coupled in parallel 230 components, including 38 rubies (depending on assembly) Stop second timer Autonomy of four (4) days Assortment created and directed by E 2 O Innovations Modular and evolutionary construction with common base Designed to integrate any complication module Display Hours, minutes centred Small second at 6 o clock (optional) Power reserve indication (PRI) at 9 o clock or 1:30 (optional), 120 hand display Main dimensions Overall diameter Casing diameter Stem height Movement height (integrated PRI and GMT) mm (13 ¼ ) mm 2.45 mm 5.35 mm

14 24 ROMA MANUFACTURE MOVEMENT ASE AUTOMATIC SCHWARZ ETIENNE Automatic movement with decentered micro rotor, manufactured by Schwarz Etienne This high-end automatic movement launched in 2013 is entirely manufactured by Schwarz Etienne. 95%* of its components are conceived in our workshops, based in La Chaux-de-Fonds. This movement combines reliability, modularity and aesthetic fineness. Reliability The innovative point of the ASE conception, entirely conceived and developed by Schwarz Etienne, is a decentred micro rotor mechanism. In tandem, another exclusive innovation is the oscillating weight which is fixed by a clever self-blocking key. This movement has already been through many wear and solidity tests and has achieved brilliant results. Its robustness and efficiency guarantee the indispensable qualities present in any high-end movement: reliability, durability and precision. Modularity Like other Schwarz Etienne creations, the development of the ASE movement is based on the concepts of modularity and rationalization. This innovative and patented construction is made of one common plate and one interchanging part that can fit either a micro rotor module (ASE movement) or a module with an additional barrel linked in parallel (MSE movement). Moreover, the ASE has been designed to integrate complication modules conceived by Schwarz Etienne s technical office. The second time zone indication (GMT) is even included in the volume of the original basic movement. That modular philosophy allows anticipating future declinations of the movement to respond to high-end market requirements and satisfy the demands of customers: reactivity, flexibility and competitiveness. Refinement In addition to its technical qualities, the ASE can be appreciated for its aesthetic refinement, faithful to the traditional watch-making spirit: the balance specially developed for Schwarz Etienne, with or without its symbolic SE logo in the centre, straight Côtes de Genève decorated bridges, polished angles, engraved rotor, or gold rimmed wheels. * Except for the sliding pinion, winding pinion and assortment, all the parts of the movement are produced in Schwarz Etienne s workshops.
