Witness this second opus from the Maison. On a mechanical level, the model proudly displays its skeletonized movement complete with flying tourbillon and large date, but in a mathematically-engineered structure featuring titanium bridges and governed by the famous golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence. The same principles have been applied to the case, made of high-density carbon composite injected with titanium powder. The result is an extra-light watch weighing just 55 grams, water-resistant to 100 meters and made to withstand shocks of 5000G in its high-tech livery.
The editorial team was impressed by The airy, mathematical architecture of a movement in the grand watchmaking tradition, capable of withstanding anything in its composite ‘shell’.
