Tourbillon Racer
A unique piece conceived and produced traditionally, this concept watch evokes automobile racing. Constructed like a racing car, this watch is a genuine technical exploit with the casing ring for the chassis, the movement as the motor and the dial in front and behind for the bodywork with some discreet evocations such as the air inlet of the dial behind. In titanium, the blanking and the skeletonization leaves the different elements visible like a cutaway of the construction which highlights the mechanism. Here, the cage of the flying tourbillon was specially designed to evoke the chronometer.
The exceptional tourbillon movement OS T01 in the form of an ‘L’ was made traditionally and exclusively for this watch with the finest hand-finishing.
Set in the movement, a car is positioned on the starting line at an angle of 15° to allow viewing on two sides. This 1 cm long miniature was created as if it were a real scale model, each element produced separately, wheel after wheel (3 mm diameter), flat base after the spoilers, with everything hand-decorated.
For special orders, the client can order his own car and include on the model, as an ultimate personailzation, the registration plate that will be engraved on one of the longerons of the watch. Ingeniously, the model car is fixed to the watch with a screw, thus making it possible to change the miniature car at any time.
