Paul Picot – Firshire Megarotor Classic & Firshire Megarotor Big Date

Posted on by

The Firshire Megarotor collection was first released in 2013. Available through the Paul Picot distribution network in around twenty countries, it has already become an international success.

This year sees the addition of the Classic model, the perfect complement to the existing Calendrier Complet, Day-Date and Régulateur collections.

Both Megaroto Classic and the Megarotor Big Date are classically designed watches with its stylish and elegant dials. The sapphire glass display back reveals the splendid automatic movement with its exclusive “Megarotor” oversized rotor. Extensive research and several official tests have confirmed that the Megarotor oversized rotor reduces the time the movement takes to wind by 20% compared to a standard automatic watch, thus improving accuracy. This new rotor is made of a heavy tungsten alloy and decorated with an 18-carat gold plate.

The FIRSHIRE MEGAROTOR BIG DATE model incorporates a large, easy-to read date indicator, formed by two discs which turns independently. This mechanism shows the date through two large openings placed side by-side. The left-hand disc displays the numbers 0 to 3 and the right-hand disc the numbers 0 to 9. The model is complemented by a small seconds dial at 6 o’clock.
