About this entry
73% of key specs known. Missing: movement, hardening, crown, bracelet offered.
Takes its styling from the Imperial (skeletonised tourbillon deck) in a slimmer all-steel case with fluted sides. The store names the movement 'Hangzhou 3452 Co-Axial Tourbillon movement with manual winding', 29 jewels, 28,800 vph, 72 hours, hours and minutes, and says it is the same movement as the Imperial's (whose listing gives 80 hours); Waldhoff's Makuake campaign (Japan, closed 30 October 2023) names the HZ 3415 instead, hand-wound, 29 jewels, 72 hours. The store's caliber name is the one to keep; no movement file exists for either. Brand specs: 316L, 41mm, 48mm lug-to-lug, 11.5mm thick (crystal not mentioned), 22mm lugs, Swiss sapphire with AR coating (side not stated), steel caseback with exhibition window, CNC-cut deck with applied bridge and indices, diamond-cut mountain hands with Swiss BGW9, Italian calf leather with a deployant clasp; weight '86gr and 156gr with steel bracelet' (whether 86 g is the head or on the strap isn't stated). Water resistance (30m) is from the Makuake page; the store doesn't state it. The store sells a three-link bracelet with integrated end pieces for the Metropolis separately ($89). Makuake listed a general retail price of 358,000 yen and backer prices from 232,700 yen (35% off). Red Gold has a rose-gold-tone case (photos).
