The Albishorn Voisin Aérosport is a time-only, hand-wound watch with a layered sector dial and a slim 38 mm stainless steel case, inspired by aviation and automotive designer Gabriel Voisin and his 1930s C28 Aérosport. It is the brand's first time-only model, moving away from its monopusher chronographs while keeping the 10 o'clock crown and asymmetric display. The design is framed as an imagined watch Voisin might have commissioned around the time of the C28, rather than a tribute to the car itself.

The lugs look thin from above because they flare out only near the wrist and are fully polished, and a swooping shape between the lugs echoes the aerodynamics of Voisin's vehicles.
The bi-level seconds scale uses an asymmetrical seconds hand whose two ends count the first and second halves of each minute, a format also seen on the Daniel Roth Tourbillon.
The bezel is split into a circular-grained upper step and a subtly inclined mirror-polished lower step, and the same two-step logic carries through the caseband and lugs.
The bezel's top ring is flat while the polished lower ring slopes less than a millimeter, which prevents the surface from reflecting the wearer's face back at them when reading the dial.
The movement's fourth wheel naturally sits beneath the running seconds gauge after rotating the movement for the 10 o'clock crown, possibly removing the need for an auxiliary gear train under the dial.
The dial's sectorial 180-degree running seconds sits at 4 o'clock, with blue-printed chapter sectors over a satin-brushed raised ring and polished bevels framing each stepped surface.
The reviewer describes the case as elegant yet muscular with machine-age ornament that feels industrial rather than decorative, so it does not read as a dress watch.
The reviewer prefers the simpler Classic dial, whose pad-printed mid-layer makes it feel like an early 20th century artifact.
