"The Carven brand is a bit like a heritage site for French fashion," said the then French minister for Culture, Frédéric mitterrand, in 2010.

The chronograph function (seconds and minute counters at 2 and 10 on the dial respectively) is started, stopped and reset using the monopusher at 2 on the case side.
