    DC6 Night Forest with a UD carbon composite + black titanium chassis. Titanium provides structure and sealing surfaces; movement housed in a titanium container (carbon is porous). UD carbon: continuous-fiber laminate; successive plies rotated 45°. Black titanium: black finish without coating (no PVD/DLC). Conventional anodization forms transparent TiO₂ and cannot produce black. Finish produced by micro-arc oxidation (MAO): plasma discharges form an integrated, hard ceramic oxide layer on the substrate, preserving hand finishing.

    Dial (6 processes): (1) Hand sunray finish on semi-spherical surface. (2) Titanium anodization; voltage sets topaz-green tone (small voltage changes alter shade). (3) Translucent lacquer topcoat. (4) Airbrushed black ring for smoked-gradient effect. (5) Layered silver-powder decals for numerals/indices. (6) Minutes ring in black gold.

    Exterior finishes: bare titanium lugs/brancards; UD carbon case body and crown surround; titanium dial plates with Pointes du Risoux guilloché (visible through crystal); two sapphire domes with tourbillon aperture at 9 o’clock and hours/minutes at 3 o’clock.

    Crown system (patented): retractable crown at 3 o’clock; 31 components. Positions: winding, time-setting, neutral. Water resistance: 50 m in all positions.

    Calibre H74 (Le Soliat, in-house): bridges/plates in Grade 5 titanium. Wheel train: CuBe wheels; steel pinions/axes/pins/screws. Flying tourbillon inclined 30°; 60 s rotation. Finishing: 18 convex inward angles, hand mirror-polished; Côtes du Solliat. Power reserve: 55 h.
