The Monarque M Azure takes the original Monarque concept to the extreme, resulting in a refined diving watch of elegant design and unsurpassed quality, with an elegant azure dial and bezel that exude the la dolce vita of summer by the Riviera. Equipped with a highly-exclusive and magnificently hand-finished microrotor movement in its highest specification, and encased in a rugged yet refined, slender case, the Monarque M is accompanied with full Vaucher CLA Chronometry certification. The first 10 watches of the Monarque M Azure have our Founder's initials BCHH engraved on the microrotor in place of the Milléchron Seal. These exclusive first few watches comprise the rarefied Monarque M Founder's Edition. Six very fine polished lines highlight the case edges, each painstakingly polished by hand, contrasted with satin brushing on the sides of the case, truly a testament to the impressive case finishing of the Monarque M. The Monarque M features an e xtremely svelte and refined case - 10.4mm inclusive of domed sapphire crystal and 200m water resistance. It is the first watch in the world to use the newest version of the Vaucher 5401, now exhibiting significantly improved hand-finishing with four internally bevelled angles, elegantly-shaped bridges and with improved timekeeping performance. The choice of 904L stainless steel, the highest grade of stainless steel used in watchmaking, for the case of the Monarque, reflects Milléchron's relentless pursuit of excellence. 904L is eight times greater in material cost than the more common 316L, and requires its own bespoke set of moulds which must be replaced more often, but is far more resistant to tarnish and polishes to a higher brightness than its lesser sibling. It is also far more laborious and requires greater skill to hand-finish, especially with the Monarque's six intricate polished lines. As an example of our conscientious attention to detail, even the crown and proprietary deployant clasp are in 904L stainless steel, where lesser brands would not have bothered. All Milléchron watches are created, assembled and serviced in the atelier of Philippe Cattin, co-founder of Voutilainen & Cattin, in the tranquil town of Saignelégier in the canton of Jura, Switzerland. Although all Milléchron watches qualify as SWISS MADE, we intentionally omit printing this designation on our dials in the interest of aesthetic elegance, and because we believe our quality speaks for itself. On our casebacks are engraved "Handcrafted in Switzerland", reflecting the artisanal, small-batch craftsmanship of our watches. We understand that the high import taxes of the European Union present a possible obstacle to some of our potential clients. To alleviate any stress in your decision to acquire our exceptional watches, we are willing to arrange tax-free shipping for the first five watches sold to clients in the EU, so you will not need to worry about paying any import tax or duties on your Monarque M. Should this be an issue for our potential clients from other countries, feel free to contact us and we will see what we can do to best assist you.
