About Shellman
Shellman was founded in 1971 and is based in Ginza, Tokyo. It is a highly respected specialty store dealing in fine watches and antique timepieces. With deep expertise in vintage watches, Shellman offers everything from world-renowned masterpieces to uniquely designed original watches. The brand is highly trusted by watch enthusiasts, and its original models are known for combining classic aesthetics with modern precision.
About the Shellman Grand Complication
The “Grand Complication” is Shellman’s flagship original model, featuring complex mechanisms that represent the ultimate dream for watch collectors. Shortly after its release, it received numerous awards and was selected as a permanent exhibit at the International Watch Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. It is highly regarded not merely as a decorative timepiece, but as a watch that allows the wearer to experience the true depth of horological technology in practical use.
About the Shellman Grand Complication Premium
The Shellman Grand Complication Premium is a refined, higher-grade evolution of the original Grand Complication. Every aspect—appearance, details, and functionality—has been carefully reworked, resulting in a flagship model that offers both sophisticated elegance and excellent practicality for mature collectors. From the case and dial design to the shape of the hands, every element is specially designed, achieving a level of finish comparable to high-end Swiss luxury watches.
About the Movement
This watch is powered by the Citizen Cal. 6771 movement.
This movement is known as the world’s first quartz grand complication movement and includes the following functions:
- Minute Repeater
- Perpetual Calendar
- Moon Phase
- Chronograph with Split-Second Function
Because the base movement is manufactured by Citizen, servicing such as overhauls and repairs can be performed by Citizen. Although an operation manual is not originally included, Citizen has published an official instruction manual for Cal. 6771 online, which can be used for operation reference.
This movement is also certified as a permanent exhibit at the International Watch Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, one of the most prestigious watch museums in the world.
Detailed Functions
- Minute Repeater: A highly advanced complication that audibly indicates the current time using two different tones. This function allows the wearer to enjoy the time not only visually, but also through sound.
- Perpetual Calendar: Automatically adjusts the date, including leap years, up to the year 2100. No manual date correction is required, ensuring constant accuracy.
- Moon Phase: Displays the phases of the moon on the dial, accurately reflecting the lunar cycle of 29.5 days and offering a visual appreciation of celestial movement.
- Split-Second Chronograph: In addition to standard chronograph functionality, this complication allows simultaneous measurement of multiple elapsed times, making it suitable for lap timing and advanced sports timing.
Design and Attention to Detail
Dial & Indexes: Sharp, three-dimensional printing combined with glossy applied indexes enhances both legibility and luxury.
Case Design: Inspired by historic masterpieces, the case features a uniquely reflective bezel and an elegant pink gold IP finish.
Original Hands: Custom-molded Breguet-style hands offer depth and classic beauty.
Guilloché & Moon Phase: Intricate guilloché patterns derived from pocket watches and a gold-leaf moon phase disk highlight the refined craftsmanship.
Condition
The watch head is in excellent condition, with no visible scratches on the crystal and only minimal signs of wear overall. The strap shows signs of use, but it is the original Camille Fournet alligator leather strap. The original pink gold IP-plated buckle is included and shows some wear consistent with use.
The original instruction manual with warranty card is included, as well as the original box. Please note that the box shows signs of aging, including discoloration and some damage to the metal fittings.
