The year 2021 marks the 220th anniversary of one of the greatest watchmaking complications: the tourbillon. An exquisite complex mechanism, the invention lies at the heart of a genuine human adventure that, to this day, contributes to the reputation of its creator Abraham-Louis Breguet and his House.
Moser & Cie. has produced a limited edition of just 10 pieces, boldly combining DLC treated titanium and the striking shades of its sky-blue fumé dial, one of their iconic dials.
Two chrono counters, a black oscillating weight, a sleek new strap with aircraft tire-tread pattern, a supersized case… the Navitimer 46 Blacksteel moves up a level.
Having cast off their dial, having rid their movement of extraneous matter, skeleton watches reveal all, or almost all, their mechanical anatomy. Take a peek, in images, at a branch of horology that has nothing to hide.
Probably the coolest watch around, the new RM 68-01 Tourbillon Cyril Kongo seals the encounter between the watchmaker and street artist Cyril Kongo, aka Mr Colorful. Who else but Richard Mille would dare?
