One of the most prestigious haute horlogerie complications takes center stage in these creations, blending tradition with innovation
Jaeger-LeCoultre
INSPIRED BY Jaeger-LeCoultre’s first tourbillon wristwatch introduced thirty years ago—namely the Reverso Tourbillon—the maison has launched the Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon in pink gold. This magical timepiece also incorporates the Duoface concept, as its two dials present two different aesthetics, with a second-time zone and a daynight indicator on the reverse dial. Meanwhile, its clean Art Deco lines and strong geometry lend the case an air of deceptive simplicity. By uniting a flying tourbillon with the Duoface complication, this highly sophisticated timepiece becomes an eloquent testimony to Jaeger-LeCoultre’s mastery of this time-honored regulating mechanism that never fails to impress.
Bulgari
THE BULGARI Octo Roma Papillon Tourbillon offers a powerful, technical and playful vibe. For one, the hours can be read through a fixed window at noon. At the same time, the minutes are displayed on a semicircle from 0 to 60 and are alternately traversed by two diamond-shaped hands. In contrast, the tourbillon is alternately displayed at 6 o’clock or center stage. With its exclusive vivid green tones and titanium case, the Octo Roma Striking Papillon Tourbillon presents a contemporary and urban design that showcases a vision of deconstructing time
IWC Schaffhausen
THE BIG Pilot’s Watch 43 Tourbillon Markus Bühler from IWC Schaffhausen is the longawaited successor to the Big Pilot’s Watch Edition Markus Bühler from 2008. Limited to 51 pieces, this new interpretation of the “Markus Bühler” watch impresses with its polished platinum case, a glossy black dial and a black Cordovan leather strap. Design-wise, this timepiece features a small turbine on the dial like its predecessor. However, the characteristic aircraft engine has been integrated into a flying minute tourbillon at 6 o’clock, making it an especially challenging watch in terms of both design and manufacturing.
Parmigiani Fleurier
EVEN AT first glance, the TONDA PF Tourbillon’s special characteristic is hard to miss: its platinum dial comes in a Milano blue shade that is a signature color of Parmigiani Fleurier. This striking color accentuates the generous opening at seven o’clock, inviting its wearer to admire and marvel at the perpetual motion of the tourbillon. The watch is further accentuated by its intricately knurled and polished platinum bezel, which makes it even more stylish. Ultimately, this creation transcends the house’s stylistic vision as an embodiment of a grand complication associated with the greatest simplicity and aesthetic refinement
