ArtyA Complexity Métiers d’Art: Double Cônillon Tourbillons
The ArtyA Complexity Métiers d’Art builds upon the original Complexity's architecture by incorporating traditional hand finishing techniques. This edition features two inclined Cônillon tourbillons, a central differential for averaging rates, and a sculptural sapphire case offering near-total visibility of the movement. The conversation with ArtyA founder Yvan Arpa and his son Stan explores the evolution of this complication and the brand's approach to independent watchmaking and personalization.
The Complexity Métiers d’Art retains the two inclined Cônillon tourbillons positioned at 12 and six o’clock, each completing a rotation every 30 seconds.
A differential links the two regulators, distributing energy between them and mechanically averaging their rates.
The watch is housed in a sculptural sapphire case with two optical domes that provide an unobstructed view of the regulators in motion.
This new edition features hand engraving, hammering, shot blasting, perlage, and hand-polished bevels on the dial and movement.
The 35mm Luminity Wavy Micro-Rotor AMR-01 is mentioned, housing an automatic micro-rotor movement with an 82-hour power reserve.
ArtyA's approach to personalization through interchangeable coloured O-rings in its sapphire cases is discussed.
