Description
This timepiece reimagines horology as a three-dimensional art form. At its core spins a central cylindrical tourbillon—spiraling like DNA—marking a bold evolution in watchmaking both visually and mechanically. The rectangular case, crafted from grade 5 titanium, embraces a brutalist architectural language: compact, assertive, and purposefully sculpted. A domed sapphire crystal crowns the structure, bending light with surgical precision and magnifying the kinetic beauty within.
Flanking the tourbillon are retrograde hour and minute displays that perform their reset with crisp, deliberate motion. Powering this choreography is the D51 automatic caliber—an in-house movement with micro-rotor construction, 235 components, a 3Hz frequency, and a 65-hour power reserve. The fusion of compact proportions, sculptural design, and mechanical depth reflects the watch’s central vision: to free time from circular repetition and celebrate its upward, ever-evolving motion.
More than a functional object, this piece is a manifesto—uniting design, movement, and philosophical expression in a limited edition of just 28 pieces.
Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
