Where the real interest and ingenuity can be found is in how those materials are used. The caliber 849 uses an extensively modified escapement and
victornox balance, as well as a "hanging" mainspring barrel (supported only on one side) to reduce the height of the movement
link to its minimum, and
link the version of the 849 used by Vacheron as the caliber 1003 reduces the height even further, to just 1.64mm.
