Marco Tedeschi Central Floating Tourbillon in Black Aventurine
Marco Tedeschi presents a new execution of his signature Central Floating Tourbillon, now featuring a black aventurine dial within a Grade 5 titanium case. This design, originating from Kross Studio, emphasizes a unique mechanical philosophy where the case and display elements are subservient to the movement's architecture, notably the centrally positioned, elevated tourbillon.
- Limited to 10 numbered pieces
- Price: CHF 92,000
The watch's design originated from an idea developed in 2006 by Marco Tedeschi, initially aiming for a manually wound movement with a substantial power reserve from a single barrel, which led to the central placement of the barrel and subsequently the tourbill
The patented Central Floating Tourbillon is raised above the movement, appearing separate from the mechanism below, with the hours and minutes orbiting the central mechanism via a planetary gear system mounted on ceramic ball bearings.
The case is round, satin-finished, and lacks conventional lugs, topped with a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
The D-ring crown is located on the caseback to preserve symmetry, and a flush function-switch push button is positioned at 3 o'clock.
The black aventurine dial features a multi-layered construction with a fixed outer ring for the minute track, an intermediate dial on the hour wheel, and an innermost dial attached to the mainplate, with an opening at 9 o'clock revealing part of the gear train
The manually wound KS 7’005 calibre contains 220 components and operates at 21,600 vibrations/hour.
The watch is fitted with an interchangeable black calf-leather strap secured by a Grade 5 titanium deployant buckle.
