{"product_id":"titus","title":"TITUS 18k Rose Gold Chronograph","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"35\" data-end=\"292\"\u003eThe official name, \u003cem data-start=\"54\" data-end=\"71\"\u003eSolvil et Titus\u003c\/em\u003e, was founded in 1893 by Paul Ditisheim. He was a cousin of Maurice Ditisheim, the founder of Vulcain — the manufacturer known for developing the world’s first wristwatch alarm — and is said to have trained there himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"294\" data-end=\"680\"\u003eBy 1903, Paul Ditisheim had already been awarded for precision at both the Kew Observatory and the Neuchâtel Observatory competitions, and in 1912 he achieved what was considered a world record in chronometric performance. His achievements were so influential that they are said to have inspired Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, to further pursue precision after encountering Egler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"682\" data-end=\"962\"\u003eWith a strong commitment to chronometry, the brand established itself as a true pedigree watchmaker. By the 1950s, Solvil et Titus had clearly positioned its lineup into high-end chronometer models and more accessible market offerings, expanding rapidly across different segments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1393\"\u003eThis particular piece represents one of the higher-end models within the general market line of that era — a luxurious solid 18K rose gold timepiece. It is powered by the caliber 49, a cam-operated chronograph movement chosen for its cost efficiency. While cam systems are common in modern chronographs, the Landeron-based cam mechanisms of that time represent a level of craftsmanship that would be difficult to replicate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eAbove all, the rich glow of solid 18K rose gold gives this watch a truly exceptional presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"641\" data-end=\"733\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- wrist size in our picture is 17cm circumference -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage TITUS Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53141724528947,"sku":null,"price":429000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/1076\/0499\/files\/1D0D5229-794F-4A01-BEBA-B7F476E2E78C.jpg?v=1778578818","url":"https:\/\/principe-prive-epocadoro.com\/products\/titus","provider":"PRINCIPE PRIVE - Epoca d'Oro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
