Ellicott launches the MG3 calibre with peripheral winding.
Ellicott has launched a new movement with a circumferential rotor, the MG3, in the Majesty watch. There have been several such movements launched of late, including the Carl F. Bucherer A1000. There is no information if Ellicott created this calibre themselves or with outside help. Ellicott, named after an English watchmaker of the 18th century, is a brand created by Pierre Andre Finanzzi, one of the founders of Les Monts, now The British Masters.

Description With the circumferential rotor, a new self-winding movement era is born. Providing a 70-hour power reserve, it features hours and minutes with running seconds off-centered at 10 o’clock and a date calendar at 3 o’clock. The Majesty comes with an unmistakable, softly rounded cushion-shaped case carved from a block of gold while the bezel is in tantalum. The open back reveals the intricacies of the movement. A tasteful masculine timepiece with novel styling, it is destined to become a classic of contemporary horological elegance.
