The beating heart of the Cape Cod TGM is the impeccable H1912 mechanical movement that powers hour, minute, second and date functions. The self-winding mechanism is made by a movement specialist Vaucher. Although Vaucher is majority owned by a luxury manufacturer Parmigiani, it is also a quarter owned by Hermès. The French watchmaker has invested heavily in beefing up its watchmaking capabilities for the past 10 years.
The 28 jewels movement oscillates at the rapid frequency of 28,800 beats per hour (4 Hz) and it is capable to provide approximately 50 hours of autonomy. The movement’s decoration includes a circular-grained and snailed mainplate, satin-brushed bridges embellished with perlage and oscillating mass encrusted with the signature ‘sprinkling of Hs”. The case construction offers decent water resistance up to 30 meters (about 100 feet).
