Tourbillon chronograph Collection Excellence Platine 5100T/000P-H041
Introduced by the Republic and Canton of Geneva in 1886 as the ultimate standard in excellence and an emblem of Geneva’s fine watchmaking expertise, the Poinçon de Genève or Hallmark of Geneva, is synonymous with provenance, quality craftsmanship and reliability.
Entirely sculpted in 950 platinum - case, dial, buckles and strap stitching - this Collection Excellence Platine model comes in a 50-piece limited edition. This watch combines two Fine Watchmaking grand complications: the power of the single-push chronograph movement and the sophistication of the tourbillon. At 12 o’clock, the tourbillon cage, whose shape is inspired by the Maltese cross, is set in motion by an intermediary wheel on the seconds display, allowing for a larger opening on the mechanism. To add the finishing touch to the power reserve indicator shown at 6 o’clock and the 45-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a tachymeter scale adorns the edge of the dial, beautifully complementing the railroad-style minute counter.
Focus
A rare and precious 50-piece limited edition
Combining two noble complications with current technological advances, this model pays tribute to the grand watchmaking tradition, boasting a display as aesthetic as it is functional. Entirely crafted in platinum, from the 42.5 mm-diameter case to its crown, dial, clasp and strap stitching, this watch incorporates a mono-pusher chronograph and a tourbillon regulator.
The Calibre 3200 was developed for the Maison’s 260th anniversary in 2015. At just 6.7 mm thick, the Manufacture’s 292-part manual-winding movement is remarkably slim to accommodate a tourbillon regulator and mono-pusher chronograph, a feat enabled by extensive research optimising functionality. Operating at the stately pace of 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz), this model honours the mechanical ballet of the tourbillon, which serves as a small-seconds indicator.
The meticulous finishing endows this Traditionnelle tourbillon chronograph with a special radiance due to a blend of mechanical complexity and aesthetic elegance. The stitching on the dark blue alligator strap is crafted from braided silk and platinum thread, an extremely rare offering that has become a signature of the Maison.
