The Historiques 222 in steel is a masterclass in faithful revival, blending 1970s Jorg Hysek design with modern haute horlogerie finishing. While the movement's power reserve is modest, the watch's extreme desirability and limited boutique production make it a premier collector's piece with significant market heat.
