The Albishorn Voisin Aérosport is a new watch that imagines an Art Deco timepiece that could have been commissioned by aviation and automotive visionary Gabriel Voisin in the 1930s. Designed with a focus on aerodynamics and the Streamline aesthetic, the watch features a unique layered sector dial and a case inspired by the Machine Age. It utilizes a proprietary manual-wind chronometer movement based on an AMT caliber, reflecting a drive for precision.

The watch is designed to evoke what Gabriel Voisin might have commissioned in the 1930s, inspired by his C28 Aérosport and his fusion of engineering with Art Deco aerodynamics.
The case features a Machine Age aesthetic with industrial-inspired ornamental elements, mixed finishes, and multiple layers, measuring 38mm x 45mm and 9.6mm thick (including crystal).
The stepped lugs and bezel have a combination of brushing and polished surfaces, with the lugs appearing thin from above but flaring out and polished near the wrist, creating an illusion of aerodynamics.
The bezel has two concentric rings: one with circular brushing and another polished surface, sitting at different levels and angles, with a brushed ring separating it from the midcase.
The midcase has a rounded profile tapering towards the caseback, with lugs that extend above the midcase and intersect at a sharp angle.
The crown is positioned at 10 o'clock, a brand signature that contributes to the watch's machine aesthetic.
The dial is a layered sector design, described as restrained compared to the case, with embellishments and a focus on rings and layers.
The proprietary, manually wound chronometer movement is based on an AMT caliber, emphasizing a drive for precision.
