ode41 reinvents the regulator. Co-created with its community, the Regulator Inception combines watchmaking heritage, contemporary boldness, and the poetry of time.

After the Moon Inception and its celestial journey, Code41 continues its exploration of major watchmaking complications. Enter the regulator, a piece that, throughout history, has guided navigators and dreamers into the unknown. More than just an instrument of precision, it embodies vision, audacity, and a pioneering spirit. Today, Code41 reinvents its codes to create a watch that is both technical and emotional, designed for those who want every second to matter – and to resonate.

The Regulator Inception is more than a watch: it is a sculpture of time. A central bridge crosses the dial, creating fascinating depth. Hours, minutes, and seconds each unfold in their own space. One axis for each, one reading for all. Time reading becomes instinctive, almost sensual, enhanced by the domed sapphire crystal and the play of light across matte and satin finishes. Wearing a Regulator Inception means feeling time beat to its own rhythm, like a personal breath in a world saturated with connections. Sensation, emotion – a true experience.

At Code41, creation is collective. The community chose, voted, refined. The result: two variations – anthracite and blue – expressing contemporary elegance, fit for both men’s and women’s wrists. Each Creator Edition piece is numbered, becoming the symbol of a story written by many hands. A creation by all, carried by each.

The Swiss mechanical movement C41-R1, specially modified by Code41 on a Sellita SW266 base, ensures reliability. But beyond the technicality, it’s the emotion of seeing a mechanical heart beating that takes precedence. The 40 mm 316L steel case naturally fits most wrists: no gender, no borders, only the intimate pleasure of wearing a piece that lives at each wearer’s rhythm.

The regulator is a watchmaking mechanism created in the 18th century in the form of a large clock. Thanks to its high precision, it served as a reference for watchmakers to adjust other timepieces. Its display separates hours, minutes, and seconds into distinct dials, ensuring a precise reading without confusion. Today, the pursuit of extreme precision is no longer its main objective; modern regulators are not more accurate than other movements. But the singular aesthetics of their dials and their historical value make them a complication highly prized by connoisseurs.
