THB Factory (THBF) Edition — Integrated Black Ceramic Bracelet
The THBF iteration of the 15416CE represents a significant technical pivot in the openworked market, prioritizing the ultra-slim 9.8mm profile that defines the genuine Double Balance Wheel reference. Unlike previous batches that utilized thicker modified plates, this version achieves the correct geometric proportions required for the integrated ceramic bracelet to drape naturally on the wrist.
At its core lies the custom Calibre 3132, a dedicated skeletonized movement featuring a functional double balance wheel architecture. The regulation is handled via a traditional index system, providing a stable beat rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour while maintaining a power reserve of approximately 36 hours, ensuring mechanical reliability without compromising the visual depth of the bridge work.
The case and bracelet are executed in high-density black zirconium oxide ceramic, offering a matte-brushed finish that mimics the light-refraction properties of the original. The alternating polished chamfers on the bezel and lugs are sharp, reflecting the high-level integrated bracelet fit expected by seasoned horological enthusiasts.
