AUDEMARS PIGUET

Six staggering new Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon models

Blending ancestral savoir-faire with stunning aesthetics, the new series of six Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon models in white or pink gold with graded colored gemstones and diamonds are a perfect blend of Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie. These complex multifaceted timepieces display beautiful contrasts of lights with avant-garde design and forward thinking spirit.
Four models are paved with graded blue sapphires, while two feature multicoloured gemstones creating a rainbow effect.
For the two rainbow models, 12 different types of multicolored gemstones, including rubies, tsavorites, emeralds, topaz, tanzanites, amethyst and various coloured sapphires, have been meticulously chosen to offer vivid hues.
Moreover, The gemsetting of the dial represented a challenge due to the diminutive size of the design and movement components. The flying tourbillon which compensates for the effect of gravity and enhances the watch’s accuracy, makes its rotation at 6 o’clock, and the Tourbillon is set with brilliant-cut gemstones, an art in itself for such a small feather-light component, which stunningly translates the harmonious blend of high jewellery and cutting edge micro mechanics.

Inspired by the adventurous spirit of the visionary founder, the Heritage Dual Time comes in a rounded steel pocket watch-inspired case, featuring a brand new Burgundy fumé dial with the brand logo in transparent lacquer. The traditional style railway minute track appears in white to give a modern contrasting result, while the sword-shaped hands are coated with Super LumiNova and a grey Kudu leather strap to wrap up the brand’s adventurous spirit.
At the heart of the Heritage Dual Time model beats the new HMC 809 self-winding calibre. This movement is equipped with the Dual Time function, thanks to the module developed entirely by H. Moser & Cie. on its self-winding Manufacture calibre. The date is displayed in a well proportioned window at 6 o’clock. It is connected to the dual time zone for practical purposes.
A subtle blend of tradition and modernity, with a rich history of 200 years, the Heritage Dual Time model represents H. Moser & Cie. to perfection, a renowned watchmaker and a visionary entrepreneur that artfully whisks refined classic with a bold modern touch.
