Keyword: skeleton watch or open-worked. Let’s take Armin Strom’s steel Mirrored Force Resonance. The house is distinguished by its pronounced taste for the artisanal decoration of its watches and its pioneering work on the synchronization of watch oscillators, known as the “resonance phenomenon”. The watch, presented here with a green dial, is quite simply considered a revolution in micromechanics. It actually has two spiral springs (oscillators) which vibrate harmoniously in opposite directions, connected by a patented coupling spring. This ensures the fastest and most regular state of resonance ever achieved in a wristwatch. Mirrored Force Resonance guarantees unrivaled timing stability.
The Endeavor Perpetual Calendar from H. Moser & Cie is a contemporary reinterpretation of the complexity of the perpetual calendar. With its exceptional optics in luminous anthracite and blue tones, it makes it easy to read the date and time with complete purity and simplicity. The case is made of tantalum, a stable and robust metal, extraordinarily difficult to work and polish. It is enhanced by the traditional technique of grand feu enamelling.
The superhero Batman is also in the spotlight in the Masterworks selection, in the form of billionaire Bruce Wayne, as well as his alter ego, the dark Batman. The main attributes of these two characters have been integrated into Jacob & Co.’s unusual Gotham City: the black DLC titanium version conveys Batman’s dark personality; the rose gold one, the luxurious extravagance of Bruce Wayne himself. Gotham City is a true work of art, complete with three-axis grappling hook swirls! Each tourbillon rotates around three different axes and drives its own cage: sensational operating precision!
Is your curiosity piqued? Visit one of Bucherer’s flagship stores in Geneva, Lucerne, Zurich, Berlin, London, New York or Las Vegas, with permanent Masterworks spaces. You will also find watches set with precious stones, such as the Carillon Tourbillon, a unique piece from Biver. The latter is distinguished in particular by a chime-type minute repeater: the sound movement is thus based on three gongs and three hammers. Masterworks watches are a delight for all the senses.
