The symmetrical movement architecture of the Constant Force Tourbillon movement seen on the dial is tribute to the firm’s historic marine chronometers. At the top, two visible mainspring barrels and the constant force device provide optimal power to the tourbillon at the bottom of the dial.

The Timepiece: This angular-shaped timepiece is the point horology meets jewellery meets racing cars. The firm says its timepieces are born of the same passion for perfect mechanics as Rebellion Racing. Call it crazy-looking, but the unique angular design allows the wearer to enjoy the details of its unique original winding mechanism with six spring barrels (à la six cylinders in a racing car). The machinery (or engine, as the guys at Rebellion call it) is made of aerospace alloy avional to reduce weight, and everything is visible through the massive sapphire crystal.

The Price:US$1,287,750

The Timepiece: The Academia Tourbillon Force Constante à Chaîne is a typical Dewitt timepiece, featuring the famous 24 “imperial columns” around the caseband and its notched bezel. First unveiled in 2006, Dewitt’s Tourbillon Force Constante mechanism answered the age-old question about how to ensure a perfectly regular transmission of energy to the mechanism. This timepiece takes that mechanism even further with a system that relays energy to its associated power reserve indicator.

The Price:US$ 632,500

The Timepiece: A unique timepiece in which German mechanical precision meets Italian micro mosaic art, this timepiece is unlike others in that it is a pendulum clock and not a wristwatch. In addition to its pleasant chime, the clock also has a hand-painted moon phase display. The pendulum of the Mosaic Sonata is equipped with temperature and air-pressure compensation. The gold-plated gear train, with a 30-day power reserve, is fully fitted with ball bearings and jewel bearings, while the classic Graham escapement is embellished with agate pallets.

The Timepiece: Since its launch in 2005, Cvstos has made a mark in haute horlogerie through timepieces such as this one. In the Challenge RMT-S, Cvstos rises to the challenge of complexity by combining two particularly ingenious watchmaking complications within this timepiece, the Minute Repeater and the Tourbillon. The Challenge RMT-S’ sapphire crystal dial and crystal back elegantly showcase the Minute Repeater and the flying Tourbillon as they waltz in perfect sync.
