lC1 QuantumGravity

Free and intriguing, the latest creation from Concord gives time a space that befits its true nature, free of all constraints and ties.

aCademia tourbillon ForCe Constante à Chaîne

DeWitt has enhanced its legendary constant force tourbillon with a system that relays energy to its associated power reserve

indicator. Rotating the crown when winding the barrel-spring drives a miniature chain, which uses an intermediate wheel to activate the power reserve indicator sliding on a worm screw. Three years after developing an ingenious patented regulating system – three extra

wheels transmitting impulses of identical force to the tourbillon, whatever the barrel’s degree of tension – DeWitt has now taken

innovation to even greater heights. MoveMent_ Manually-wound, DW8050 calibre, tourbillon with constant-force device, 25 rubies,

21,600 vib/h, 72-hour chain-driven power reserve, flat balance-spring. Functions_ Hours, minutes, power reserve indicator. case_ 950 platinum, 43 mm. Sapphire crystal front and back. Dial_ Black

with Côtes de Genève decoration. Opening over constant-force device at 8 o’clock. Opening over tourbillon cage at 5 o’clock. Rail

Fva n° Cuatro tourbillon ChronoGraph superliGero ConCept

A year after the appearance of its FVa N° 6 SuperLigero Concept, Franc Vila introduces a flying chronograph tourbillon based on

nanotechnology. The new movement, like last year’s, is made of lightnium, but the design of the bridges has been inspired by the molecular structure of graphene, a recently discovered material.

While its density is very low, with a thickness equivalent to an atom, it is 10 to 100 times more resistant than steel and much harder than

diamond. With this outstanding timepiece, Franc Vila has met a longstanding challenge: to create an infinitely light, ultra-resistant

movement. Limited edition of 8. MoveMent_ Hand-wound FV N°4, hand-decorated SuperLigero calibre, 33 rubies, 28,800 vib/h with pierced flying tourbillon with differential gear and inertia control

mechanism, mono-pushpiece chronograph with column wheel directly coupled to the tourbillon, 5-day power reserve.

Functions_ Hours, minutes, chronograph and power reserve indicator. case_ DieHard Extreme steel with special “Esprit Unique” shape, with elliptical and circular bezel. Sapphire crystal front and back with double anti-reflective coating. Water-resistant to 100 m.

Dial_ Pierced. Minute and seconds counters at 10 and 2 o’clock. Power reserve at 9 o’clock. Pierced flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock.

strap_ Black crocodile or rubber with folding clasp.

a bare minimum. The structure of the Chronographe Squelette, a veritable metallic sculpture, transforms the lifeless material

into a living mechanism. A model that clearly belongs in this century. MoveMent_ Hand-wound, Maurice Lacroix ML106-7 calibre,

Quadruple tourbillon

Between art and technological innovation, the 2nd Fundamental Invention by Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey propels its

designers even closer to the heights of horological architecture. The four tourbillons of this stunning composition contribute

to the spherical differential which ensures transmission to the display system. MoveMent_ Patented hand-wound, comprising 531

components, four independent tourbillons housed in two double cages, 63 rubies, 21,600 vib/h, rapid-rotation double barrel in series, 50-hour power reserve. Functions_ Two interior tourbillons at a 30° angle rotate every 60 seconds, two exterior tourbillons rotate every

of the Labyrinth after he had killed the Minotaur, and the crown of stars offered her by Dionysus as a marriage gift became a

celestial constellation. Sultana has magnificently reproduced these two elements of the Ariadne myth on the mother-of-pearl dial.

heart rinG

Alain Tarditi is a virtuoso with titanium, a light and challenging metal. In this delicate creation,

he pays a vibrant tribute to women by masterfully combining precious metals – the ring is a fusion

of red gold and titanium – in a subtle composition. Patiently and expertly set by the craftsman’s

hand, 238 graduated pink sapphires wind their way enchantingly around the finger, like the notes

of a symphony. A pause in this poignant melody, provided by a heart-shaped green peridot, adds the ultimate note of perfection. Description_ Titanium

and 18K red gold ring. 238 graduated pink sapphires (2.83 cts). Heart-shaped peridot (4.83 cts).
