Catalogue Essay
The DC6 Titanium represents the evolution of Candaux’s design language, building on the foundations of the DC1. The centerpiece of the watch is the remarkable "Pointe du Risoux" hand-guilloché motif, covering the top of the case in place of a traditional crystal.
Beneath two spherical sapphire domes, the DC6 presents its indications asymmetrically. The right dome houses the timekeeping display on a raised, micro-curved dial with blued, curved steel hands, while the left dome reveals the 30° inclined flying tourbillon that improves chronometric performance by traversing more positions in less time. A third, arched sapphire crystal covers the power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock.
Inside, the hand-wound caliber is entirely crafted from Grade 5 titanium, including the plate, bridges, wheels, and tourbillon cage. Weighing significantly less than traditional materials, the titanium architecture offers durability and resistance to magnetism and corrosion. Despite the challenges of finishing titanium by hand, Candaux achieves an extraordinary level of craftsmanship.
Measuring 43mm in diameter and 12.6mm thick, the DC6 wears comfortably thanks to short, sculpted lugs and a curved sapphire caseback.
Offered here is DC6 Titanium No. 00 — the first of the series. Importantly, Candaux produces only eight examples of each reference, numbering them 00–08 while omitting number 4. David Candaux will also offer a complimentary full service within six months of purchase and a 10-year warranty.
