As expertly explained in Jack's two articles on the SLGH002, the main point of interest in this watch and the 9SA5 movement, in particular, is its implementation of a truly new escapement, the advent of which is an event that, as Jack put it, "represents a moment in horological history which one might never see in the course of an entire human lifetime. There have been, despite thousands of experiments, only a few escapements to see really widespread use: The verge, the cylinder, the lever, and the co-axial, and that is over a period of five hundred years or so of watchmaking." As a reminder, the SLGH002 came dressed in yellow gold with a price tag of $43,000. The new SLGH003 comes dressed in a more democratic material, stainless steel, and with an approximate price of $9,700.
