The Wempe unified chronometer is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and precision, an investment in timeless quality and refined engineering. For more than 75 years, this mechanical instrument has been handcrafted according to the highest WEMPE standards, proudly bearing the “Made by Wempe” label. With dimensions of 200 x 200 x 210 mm, the piece radiates classic elegance. The housing is made of wood with a piano lacquer finish, while the polished brass gimbal mounting ensures stability and balance on any water.

The unique design, where the movement rests on just three pillars, makes this chronometer not only a technical marvel but also a true art object. The white dial with brass details and the transparent plexiglass casing provide a full view of the Caliber 5 movement, which offers an impressive power reserve of 56 hours.

A "56-hour power reserve" means that the movement, once fully wound, can run continuously and accurately for a period of 56 hours before it needs to be wound again. The Caliber 5 movement is a specific mechanical movement design by WEMPE, representing the unique configuration and high-quality components of this internal mechanism.

This exclusive mechanical masterpiece combines the tradition of maritime timekeeping with a modern, refined aesthetic and forms a unique addition to any high-end nautical setting. It is a collector's item, an object of art, with a price tag that reflects this value. In return, you receive a work of art from jewelry manufacturer Wempe. It is a certified chronometer, with a deviation of no more than one second per day. These chronometers are available exclusively upon request.
