For a moment let us celebrate understatement - an uncluttered dial, ethereal indications and loupe-worthy minutiae - all are features of the new Beat Haldimann H11 Central Balance Three Hands watch.

As a follow-up piece to the 2013 H11 Central Balance Pure, this model adds an indication for the seconds - it does nothing to clutter the pristine characteristics of the dial which can, and should still be described as "pure", but its inclusion does however add a further  degree of difficulty to this tricky and unique central balance arrangement.

Just like the first H11, this one presents itself with a strong sense of duplicity.  The white rhodium-plated dial is all innocence, with diminutive numerals and seductive little hands -  but turn it over and you are confronted with a movement whose industrial plainness will take you completely by surprise, with a unique centred arrangement showcased on a white rhodium-plated mainplate.  There isn't so much as a hint of the complex nature of its creation or its assembly  but then that is how the Haldimann family have done it for generations.
