The Garrick 39mm S5 timepiece features an in-house engine-turned dial with an applied chapter ring and heat blued anchor hands.
At the heart of the S5 is a new movement, the Garrick S5 calibre, dressed in a textured rhodium finish. Unlike several of its siblings, the balance on this model is positioned to the rear. It is secured with a three-spoke bridge, granting sight of the balance wheel oscillating backwards and forwards. Moreover, the index-adjusted balance has a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz) and the movement contains 20 jewels. The addition of a beat adjuster, yet another refinement, provides a trained watchmaker with the means to fine tune the anchor symmetry.
Front of house, the English firm has endowed the S5 with a hand-guilloché dial, made in-house using a traditional rose engine lathe. Clients are given a choice of dial motifs and colours. Maritime-style hour, minute and seconds hands express meaning clearly and would-be owners can select heat-blued or polished steel hands. The steel chapter ring is adorned with ‘satiné circulaire’, ‘sauté piqué and laser engraved Roman numerals which are inked by hand. Alternatively, the S5 can be ordered with an openworked, heat-blued chapter ring.
