2005 Evolution 3-1
First three-axes Tourbillon
The originality of the triaxial tourbillon is that two frames - as well as the tourbillon - are set in motion on three different perpendicular axis. Thanks to that the tourbillon will complete a revolution in one hour and will pass through all possible positions and will have compensated for any possible running variations. The perpetual calendar has been incorporated in the Evolution 3-1 which makes the watch more extraordinary. Apart from the great ingenuity of the design, the true connoisseur of the watchmaker’s art will appreciate the virtuosity inherent in the realization of the tourbillon movement. Its stunning beauty is the result of one of the most difficult exercises in the luxury watchmaking industry. |
