To know how to appreciate the value of each moment's passage, one must be able to measure it and there is no better way to do it than with the newTourbillon Oculus 1927, the masterpiece of watchmaking precision that Ateliers DeMonaco presents for Baseworld 2016. A new and exclusive version of its most emblematic model, faithful to the technical excellence and aesthetic vision that characterizes the brand that offers us a dazzling association between watchmaking tradition and high-tech innovation. Clock number 1297 pays tribute to the Grimaldi family's rise to power, a victory that is commemorated on the Principality's coat of arms with the iconic and distinctive mark of Ateliers DeMonaco. Reinterpretation and high originality are the two concepts that govern the creation of this wonderful piece. It offers an off-center dial at 12 o'clock and another small open dial at 6 o'clock where the tourbillon is shown.
Inside the 44mm titanium case is the combination between the technical mastery involved in the production of watchmaking complications and the high standards of aesthetics and virtuosity required in jewelry manufacturing. So much so that this extraordinary jewel has a beautiful royal blue dial embellished with a bas-relief rhombus pattern. This particular improvement of the dial has been made using a five-axis laser machine, an advanced technology that first heats and then melts the material to perfect it. The final finish of the dial gives a voluptuous shine, which underlines the elegance of theTourbillon Oculus 1297.
Inserted within the upper part of the dial, the hour and minute counter is a charming materialization of the classic codes with the Roman numbered indexes and the dolphin-shaped hands. The watchmakers at Atelier DeMonaco have thus achieved a perfect combination of classicism and modernity in a single watch, offering a bold and highly contrasted design. Furthermore, theTourbillon Oculus 1297It is powered by its own in-house patent XP1 Tourbillon movement, which powers the hours and minutes, along with the small seconds. With an average tolerance between 0-2 seconds every 24 hours, this caliber is one of the most precise tourbillon movements in the world today and attests to the excellence of its manufacturing. Likewise, it brings remarkable technical performance and traditional watchmaking know-how such as with the sapphire tourbillon bridge, the hand-engraved 22-carat gold motor and the silicon gear and lever.
The sapphire caseback allows you to observe the finesse and sophistication of the movements. The royal blue alligator leather strap and titanium folding buckle add a unique charm to this watch, which also comes with a gray dial and either a rose gold or white gold case. As a good masterpiece, each model in the range is limited to only 88 pieces.
