Description

This year we present a Grand Sport version of our classic tourbillon. This new watch incorporates the same tourbillon caliber made in Paris but in a completely different interpretation.

Four timepieces will be built to complete the "subscription" series.

The grand sport version of our tourbillon caliber places the hours and minutes in the center of the sapphire dial. A seconds hand hangs over the openworked steel tourbillon bridge.

A special power reserve is located at 4 o'clock. this does not indicate the number of running hours remaining but the torque available.

The 41mm case in 316L steel is composed of a circular grained and polished bezel supporting a domed sapphire crystal. The profile of the middle resumes a concave and profiled arc up to the start of the integrated bracelet.

The color palette has been oriented towards a selection of shades of gray for a monochrome effect. The hour and minute hands have been blued to allow easy reading and provide immediate contrast.

All the decorations were made by hand. The idea of this timepiece being to combine artistic craftsmanship with the manufacture of a modern and sporty watch.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
