What to know
Christian Klings’ No. 06 places its unusual power-reserve construction above the ratchet wheel, making part of the indication’s mechanism visible. The seven-part silver dial combines hand-engraved Roman numerals, guilloché and separate areas for the indications. A 38mm yellow-gold case gives the watch classical proportions.
The maker specifies a nineteen-jewel hand-wound movement with a 40-hour reserve, anglage and Geneva stripes. Front and rear photographs document the same watch on his official archive page, published in May 2020. This is the power-reserve No. 06 described there; its configuration should not be confused with separately catalogued Klings tourbillon watches carrying similar numbering.
