A host of golden-coated touches present on the Arabic numerals, hour and minute hands, and chronograph counters perfectly complement the brown-toned ddial. “Académie des Sciences de Paris” and “Chronographe Nicolas Rieussec” are engraved in French on the flange, as a reminder that the academy validated Rieussec’s invention in 1821.
