A sleeker interpretation of this classic function comes in the form of German watchmaker A. Lange &amp; Söhne’s Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar “Terraluna”, a chronometer that cleverly uses both sides of its dial to showcase its many intricate complications. Here, the argenté-hued dial features three interlocking hour, minute and second subdials that together track the day, date and month. On the reverse, some elements of the calibre L096.1 movement peek out through the sapphire crystal caseback that is otherwise dominated by a prominent moonphase display.

Eschewing traditional colours for a more vibrant hue is IWC’s 100-piece Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Toto Wolff x Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team”, launched ahead of the June Formula One British Grand Prix of which the brand is a proud sponsor. Created to celebrate Toto Wolff – the mastermind behind Mercedes’ record eight consecutive constructors’ titles – its racing heritage is evidenced by the lightweight appeal of a proprietary Ceratanium alloy case, while the dial’s accents have been burnished in the team’s signature Petronas green.

Limited to a release of 99 pieces, it comes with a relatively affordable price tag of €9,995.

Similarly open-worked, albeit in a more attention-grabbing 18K 5N pink gold case, is Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin Skeleton. An impressive feat of watchmaking, its innovative Calibre 1120 QPSQ/1 perpetual calendar movement is wholly skeletonised. What’s more astonishing is the thinness of the complex wristwatch is just a scant 8.1mm. Coming with pink gold straps as standard, buyers can also opt for tool-free changes to blue rubber or blue calf leather options as well.

The final entrant on this list of prime perpetual calendar watches is none other than Patek Philippe. Its Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar Ref. 5374-300P is, simply put, an outré affair, prominently garnished with a plethora (241 to be exact) of sparkling baguette-cut diamonds along its case and bezel. Not only does its elegant blue dial proudly showcase the complex mechanism in all its glory, its self-winding calibre R 27 Q movement is also equipped with a charming chiming complication. A masterclass in the art of blending haute horlogerie with the watchmaker’s craft, it’s an apt new chapter for the legendary watchmaker who created the first-ever perpetual calendar wristwatch.

Even though they seem the very epitome of contemporary design, skeletonised dials have been around for centuries. Indeed, they date back to the eighteenth century when André Charles Caron – clockmaker to King Louis XV of France – first eschewed all the window dressings of a timepiece to afford clear views of the intricate machinery beneath. Since then, the open-worked aesthetic has charmed haute horology enthusiasts the world over, be it to exemplify a minimalist theme or spotlight avant-garde stylings. Below, we highlight seven superlative new examples of this transparent motif.

First up is Cartier’s 100-piece Privé Tank Chinoise, the latest avatar of the iconic design first launched exactly a century ago in 1922. As its name suggests, it embodies a distinct Oriental allure. Ringed by a diamond-studded bezel and housed in a platinum case, its fascia is dominated by vertical and horizontal bars inspired by the traditional architecture of ancient Chinese temples. Peeking out beneath these stripes are the inner workings of the brand’s new 9627 MC manual-winding movement, the elaborate stylings of which can be better viewed through its transparent caseback.

Next to the table is the ultra sleek Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton from Swiss manufacture H. Moser &amp; Cie. Blending minimalism and extravagance in equal measure, graceful anthracite PVD-finished bridges hold the hour-and-minute Funky Blue fumé domed subdial at 12 o’clock, contrasted beautifully with the timepiece’s pièce de résistance – a one-minute flying tourbillon – on the bottom half of its fascia. Visible underneath is the automatic calibre HMC 811 movement, which churns out a generous 72-hour power reserve.

From Hamburg-headquartered Montblanc comes the 1858 The Unveiled Secret Minerva Monopusher Chronograph LE58. Available in a limited release of 58 pieces, this blue-on-steel creation pays tribute to the maison’s historic Minerva manufacture – a famed watchmaking facility known for its specialisation in precision-engineered chronographs and folded into the brand in 2006 – by ‘unveiling’ one of its handmade movements beneath its open-worked dial, in this instance, the MB 16.29 calibre. The traditional transparent caseback, meanwhile, has been replaced with a beautiful engraved relief of the aforementioned Villeret factory.

For a more slimmed down finish, though, look no further than Piaget’s latest Polo Skeleton. Unsurprisingly for a label that holds several records in crafting hyper-thin designs, its latest offering boasts one of the world’s thinnest mechanical movements: the skeletonised 1200S1, which measures a scant 2.4mm. Injecting an element of sparkle to proceedings, its 42mm white gold case is graced with a staggering 1747 brilliant-cut diamonds across its dial, bezel, case and bracelet. Deftly fusing high-end watchmaking with haute joaillerie know-how in one attractive package, this is a timepiece that will surely ensnare any passing gaze.

Opting for a wholly transparent aesthetic, meanwhile, is Chopard’s new LUC Full Strike Sapphire. To fully enhance the chiming function of this minute repeater watch, its entire case has been fashioned from a translucent sapphire case, with its crystal gongs similarly crafted from that same material. At the heart of its skeletonised fascia beats the 533-part calibre LUC 08.01-L movement that boasts five new patents to achieve the clarity of its sounding of the hours, quarters and minutes.

A more outré example of the open-worked motif comes courtesy of Roger Dubuis’ Excalibur Monobalancier EX0953, whose sharp geometric lines and sand-blasted finishing gives it an almost industrial appeal. Housed in a 42mm Eon gold case ringed with 60 round-cut diamonds, it affords direct views of the RD 720SQ calibre movement underneath. The ruby accents of the mechanism, meanwhile, are perfectly accentuated with purple calf-leather straps.

The final entrant on our list is none other than the T-500 Titanium by Swiss watchmaker Rebellion. Exuding an undeniable avant-garde aura, this rectangular timepiece’s see-through dial perfectly displays its unusual timekeeping mechanism. Under the curved sapphire dome, the 380-part manual winding vertical movement and six barrels that charge its jaw-dropping 420-hour energy reserve is on full display. Further underscoring its race car-esque appeal, the traditional hour-and-minute indicators have been eschewed in favour of two parallel rollers at the centre of its fascia. Available in the buyer’s choice of blue, red, orange, green or black, it’s the perfect choice for watch enthusiasts enamoured with a bit of experimental horology.

Jaquet Droz is a watchmaker that has long prided itself on creating watches that not only have exemplary technical specs, but also boast collections that have elegant and vivid dials that are worthy of being called works of art in their own right.

Sticking with the theme of artistic horological creations with unique dials is this sublime offering from Franck Muller, in collaboration with acclaimed artist, Hom Nguyen. The two have joined forces to produce this exceptional timepiece: the Cintrée Curvex Double Mystery with Tourbillon. Nguyen is a French painter of Vietnamese origin who is famed for creating portraits in a figurative style – clearly depicted in the watchface.
In place of hands, time is shown by rotating discs with the brand’s trademark double mystery complication. Completly hand-drawn and assembled in the purest watchmaking tradition, this timepiece is equipped with a manual winding mechanical movement and boasts a power reserve of 60 hours.

Also from Frank Muller and distinctly more ladylike – but still retaining a certain degree of quirkiness – is the Vangaurd Lady Heart. Playfully replacing the numbers ‘3’ through ‘7’ with a burst of tastefully designed hearts, this watch incorporates dynamic and graceful features. The collection is a tribute to femininity, with a poignant silhouette and a poetic dial. Shown on previous page are the red and pink iterations.

This month&#8217;s offering by Roger Dubuis takes us way back in time to the days of merry old England, the Knights of the Round Table MT Gold is as playful as it is historically accurate – and a beautifully crafted timepiece to boot – with each number on the dial replaced with a mini-sculpture of one of the aforementioned knights of King Arthur’s fellowship, from Lancelot to all the others.
The main material of the dial is gold and a matching case with sapphire crystal with a special anti-reflective coating open case back with a sapphire crystal pink gold bezel with a saphhire crystal crown with Murano glass. The clasp comes with a gold cover, with titanium blades – triple folding – interchangeable with an ingenious crystal release system.

Rounding out our set of six is the Tag Heuer Monaco V4. This racey little number was made famous when it first appeared on the wrist of action-man film star Steve McQueen duirng his appearnce in the 1970 film Le Mans. This revolutionary watch features four barrels mounted on ball bearings, pinions and belts. The timepiece displays its movement through its anti-reflective sapphire glass – revealing the intricate design features within, comprising tungsten ingot, linear mass and two pairs of barrels, that are mounted in parallel and cleverly connected by belts.

Time Warp: Six of the best – and quirkiest – watch dials on the market

On 30 May 2022, Rolex unveils its latest creations. The watchmaker subsequently invited Gafencu to public showing of its fine new range in Hong Kong on 31 May. One of the first things you notice when you pick up a Rolex wristwatch is the heft. The sturdiness a testament to consummate craftsmanship.

The first watch we examined was the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Air-King. This superb timepiece celebrates the pioneers of aviation and encourages those that wear it to take command of their own destiny. The dial inspired by aircraft instruments but the 2022 iteration also it incorporates new features. The dial is now easier to read and achieves better balance due to the addition of a ‘0’ before the ‘5’ on the minutes scale, while a crown guard and straight sides have also been included. These evolutions confirm the Air-King’s place among the brand’s Professional models.

The next was based on a Rolex classic ­– the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II. &nbsp;Since its creation in 1955, the GMT-Master has seen some of the greatest moments in aviation history – as varied as the first intercontinental flights to world speed records to Concorde testing. Feats that are underscore human endeavour as much as they are to technological excellence. The GMT-Master II builds on this legacy.
This new iteration of the timepiece incorporated several innovations. It required moving the winding crown to the left side of the watch case and the date aperture to 9 o’clock, as well as modifying the date disc – adjustments that also led to greater precision in the testing process carried out during final controls. The Cerachrom bezel insert is in green and black, a striking colour combination that is exclusive to this watch.

The final timepiece put forward for our consideration was the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 40. The new Yacht-Master 40 harnesses elements of the ocean, the sky and the sun. The bezel, set with diamonds and sapphires in hues of blue, silver and pink, is inspired by the aurora borealis and the first blush of dawn. The palette of hues is accentuated by the 46 diamonds that adorn the lugs and crown guard. An absolute stunner.&nbsp;&nbsp;

First on our list is Cartier’s Masse Mystérieuse, a stunningly sleek skeletonised design. Crafted from 950 platinum, this innovative watch is a study in minimalism, with half of its open-worked fascia remaining wholly transparent, while the other half reveals the inner workings of the Calibre 9801 MC automatic movement floating underneath. Adding a splash of colour to proceedings is the ruby cabochon crown, while a charcoal grey alligator leather strap completes its almost industrial appeal.

Similarly open-worked is Piaget’s Altiplano Ultimate Concept. The brand is known for crafting super-slim designs – it holds several records for the thinnest timepieces in existence – and this new creation is a tribute to a model first presented four years ago that measures a scant two millimetres thick. To deliver this streamlined look, Piaget has fused the traditional four-layer structure (bezel and crystal, dial, movement and caseback) into one complex construct. Elsewhere, several touches nod to the exact moment this watch was dreamt up.

Achieving different heights of invention, Montblanc has crafted a timepiece to withstand some of Earth’s harshest conditions – atop Mount Everest. The 44mm titanium case of the 1858 Geosphere Chronograph 0 Oxygen LE290 is literally devoid of all oxygen in a bid to avoid fogging and oxidation at extreme altitudes and sub-zero temperatures. Then there’s the bidirectional bezel, which marks the cardinal points to ensure climbers keep their bearings. To prove that this isn’t just all promotional hype to boost sales, the brand has partnered with acclaimed Nepalese mountaineer Nimal Purja – scaler of the world’s 14 highest peaks in just six months and six days – who will wear the watch on his next Everest ascent.

The best of Watches and Wonders Geneva 2022

When dreaming up a new sports diving watch, you’d expect watchmakers to delve into the depths of the world’s seas and oceans for inspirations. Interestingly, however, this was not the case for Montblanc’s latest offering – the 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date. Instead – and rather appropriately given its name – the brand scaled the Alps to the glacial lakes of Mont Blanc massif mountain range. In particular, it was the Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice) and its interlocking network of ice crystals that inspired the timepiece’s new look.
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65477" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Montblanc-1858-Iced-Sea-Automatic-Date-Black-1.jpg" alt="Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date - Black (1)" width="466" height="520" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Montblanc-1858-Iced-Sea-Automatic-Date-Black-1.jpg 466w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Montblanc-1858-Iced-Sea-Automatic-Date-Black-1-200x223.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Montblanc-1858-Iced-Sea-Automatic-Date-Black-1-251x280.jpg 251w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Montblanc-1858-Iced-Sea-Automatic-Date-Black-1-120x134.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Montblanc-1858-Iced-Sea-Automatic-Date-Black-1-400x446.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 466px) 100vw, 466px" />
Utilising the near-forgotten technique of gratté boisé as its base, Montblanc’s skilled artisans were able to capture the depth and grandiosity of Mer de Glace on a dial just 0.5mm thin. Encased in a stainless steel case replete with a two-toned ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel, its caseback features a stunning 3D relief engraving of a scuba diver exploring the glacial waters beneath an iceberg.

Equipped with an automatic calibre MB 24.17/SW200 movement, it is available with three different dials that encompass the various hues of glacial ice – blue, green or black. The 41mm watch’s inherent flexibility is further enhanced with the option of interchangeable rubber or V-shaped stainless steel straps, chosen for their durability in salt-water conditions. What’s more, switching between them can be done without the need for any tools, and are all adjustable on the wrist so owners can ensure a perfect fit, particularly when donning it over a wetsuit. Meticulously crafted with the brand’s renowned craftsmanship skills, the new 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date is a true stunner.

Montblanc’s new sports diving watch gets the ‘frozen’ treatment

When it was invented in the twilight years of the 18th century, the tourbillon was lauded as a revolutionary piece of horological engineering. Created to turn the escapement and balance wheel continuously within a rotating cage, it negated the effects of gravity on the commonly worn pocket watches of the era and thus ensured the heightened precision of the timepiece.
Today, with wristwatches now dominant, tourbillons are no longer critical to maintaining timekeeping precision. Yet, they continue to grace high-end wrist adornments as a testament to a watchmaker’s skilled craftsmanship. Here, we highlight seven recent creations that have eye-catchingly incorporated this mechanical marvel.
1. Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus

First is Vacheron Constantin Les Cabinotiers Grande Complication Bacchus. A stunning ode to fine watchmaking, this statement timepiece features a staggering 16 complications, including calendar and astronomical indications as well as a minute repeater. The tourbillon proper takes pride of place at six o’clock on the front dial, while sidereal time is displayed at the back. The 47mm case is also etched with intertwining grapes and vines as a tribute to the Roman god of wine.
2.Girard-Perregaux La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition

Another prime example of haute-horological skill comes courtesy of Girard-Perregaux’s La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition. Based on the prize-winning La Esmeralda pocket watch that debuted at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, its blue enamel dial similarly features three dominant gold bridges, with the tourbillon positioned at the bottom. The equine inspiration of yesteryear has also been revived in this 18-piece limited edition, with two hand-engraved galloping horses straddling the dial. A further three horses punctuate the blue enamel caseback, which opens to reveal the GP09600-1506 self-winding movement underneath.
3.Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65059" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked.jpg" alt="Hyper-accurate tourbillons gafencu watch luxury timepiece audemars piguet royal oak selfwinding flying tourbillon openworked" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked-600x399.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-selfwinding-flying-tourbillon-openworked-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
For a more streamlined – though no less mechanically impressive – design, look no further than Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Openworked. Produced to mark the Royal Oak’s 50th anniversary, this 41mm stainless-steel timepiece is burnished with the brand’s first self-winding flying tourbillon open-worked movement – the Calibre 2972 – showed off to perfection by its skeletonised motif. Eschewing any unnecessary elements, it boasts an almost industrial appeal.
4.Bulgari Octa Roma Blue Carillon Tourbillon
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65060" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon.jpg" alt="Hyper-accurate tourbillons gafencu watch luxury timepiece bvlgari octa roma blue carillon tourbillon" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon-600x399.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-bvlgari-octa-roma-blue-carillon-tourbillon-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Similarly boasting an open-worked aesthetic – though with a sleek blue on platinum and white gold vibe – is Bulgari’s Octa Roma Blue Carillon Tourbillon. Visible beneath its fascia is the hand-wound calibre BVL428 movement, replete with a tourbillon minute repeater whose chiming is the product of three hammers and gongs. In a smart move, the grille-like accents on its dial are designed to have as few obstructions as possible in order to allow clear passage of sound from within.
5. MB&amp;F Legacy Machine Flying T Allegra
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65061" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra.jpg" alt="Hyper-accurate tourbillons gafencu watch luxury timepiece mb&amp;f legacy machine flying T allegra" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra-600x399.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-mbf-legacy-machine-flying-T-allegra-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Bulgari also teamed up with renowned independent label MB&amp;F to create the Legacy Machine Flying T Allegra. Blending high-end horology with haute joaillerie, this opulent design – available in white or red gold and limited to 20 pieces each – sees the eponymous flying tourbillon take centre stage beneath a distinctive domed dial. The pavéd diamond hour-and-minute subdial, meanwhile, is propped against it at a slant. Almost every visible inch of this bejewelled creation is carpeted with gemstones, as the likes of topaz, amethyst, tsavorite and tourmaline punctuate the plentiful diamonds.
6. Bovet Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two Reimagined DLC-SLN
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65062" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN.jpg" alt="Hyper-accurate tourbillons gafencu watch luxury timepiece Bovet Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two Reimagined DLC-SLN" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN-600x399.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Bovet-Virtuoso-VIII-Chapter-Two-Reimagined-DLC-SLN-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Another exquisite limited-edition wrist implement is Fleurier-based Bovet’s Virtuoso VIII Chapter Two Reimagined DLC-SLN – the reimagining and the abbreviations involve a grade 5 titanium case coated in black Diamond Like Carbon. Its fascia features two subdials (a 10-day power reserve indicator on the left and another with a date aperture and model number on the right), while the tourbillon is visible at six o’clock. Just eight pieces each of six colourways – blue, salmon, turquoise, violet, green or yellow – will be made.
7. Roger Dubuis Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65063" src="//www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon.jpg" alt="Hyper-accurate tourbillons gafencu watch luxury timepiece Roger Dubuis Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon" width="700" height="466" srcset="https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon.jpg 700w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon-200x133.jpg 200w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon-600x399.jpg 600w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon-421x280.jpg 421w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon-120x80.jpg 120w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.gafencushop.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Hyper-accurate-tourbillons-gafencu-watch-luxury-timepiece-Roger-Dubuis-Excalibur-Gully-Monotourbillon-400x266.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" />
Rounding out our list of top tourbillon designs is Roger Dubuis’ Excalibur Gully Monotourbillon – a collaboration with French graffiti artist Gully. Here, his interpretation of the Excalibur Monotourbillon’s iconic star motif is evidenced by abstract angular accents, some in a riot of colourful accents. It’s a deft touch, as the multihued touches also spell out his name, with the ‘U’ neatly ringing the tourbillon in question. Adroitly fusing haute horologerie with street art, this outré timepiece playfully explores new bounds of watchmaking without ever once skimping on precision engineering.

Buyer’s Guide: 7 impressive hyper-accurate tourbillon watches

As stylish fashionistas know, there’s no better way to ensnare any passing gaze than with a bejewelled statement timepiece, and few exemplify this beautiful motif better than renowned Swiss watchmaker Rolex’s new Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust.

Deftly blending watchmaking expertise with gem-setting skills, every visible inch of this latest avatar of the brand’s instantly recognisable femme-focused watch is swathed in glistening diamonds that enchant the wearer and viewer alike. Indeed diamonds grace its dial, case, bezel, lugs and case sides, and can even be found across its eye-catching President bracelet, which now features a concealed Crownclasp.

The cohesiveness of this design is no accident. In fact, every seat has been painstakingly hand-crafted by Rolex’s skilled artisans to ensure a perfect fit for every stone placed on the Oyster Perpetual Lady-Datejust. This is no small feat when you consider that some 291 diamonds have been paved onto its dial, a further 44 brilliant-cut stones have been set into the bezel, some 158 diamonds punctuate its 18 ct yellow gold case, and a staggering 596 brilliant-cut diamonds glitter on along its bracelet.&nbsp;

Fitted with its patented Syloxi silicon hairspring, this stunning piece of engineering not only offers greater resistance to temperature fluctuations and magnetic fields, but remains ten times more precise than traditional hairsprings in case of sudden movement.
