Complexity Métiers d’Art
ArtyA Genève has introduced the Complexity Métiers d’Art, a limited edition of nine watches featuring two inclined tourbillons, or cônillons, linked by a central differential. This new interpretation builds on the brand's earlier Complexity model, placing a greater emphasis on hand-finishing techniques applied to both the dial and the movement.
- Limited to nine numbered pieces
- Case made of synthetic sapphire or synthetic pigeon's blood ruby
- Features two inclined tourbillons (cônillons) at 12 and 6 o'clock
- Movement is hand-wound with a 50-hour power reserve
- Price starts at CHF 190,000 (excluding taxes)
The cônillon is a rare tourbillon regulator with a tilted balance that follows a conical path.
The watch's dial and movement have been reworked using traditional decorative techniques like hand engraving, hammering, and shot blasting.
The triple-concave case construction follows the contours of the wrist and features sapphire domes that magnify the tourbillons.
The case, cut entirely from sapphire, requires over 120 hours of diamond machining and 140 hours of polishing.
Each inclined tourbillon cage completes a rotation every 30 seconds, with the pair turning in different directions.
The dial's finely sandblasted base is entirely hand-engraved with radiating scratches carved with a burin.
Virtually every visible surface of the movement and dial receives a different hand-applied decorative treatment.
Black rhodium plating provides a backdrop for the hand-finished elements, creating contrast.
