A Symbolic Capsule<\/strong> The central surface, which is the most part of the Gotham City dial, is shaped like the Bat emblem – cut into a slab of solid onyx, a hard stone that’s perfectly pitch black and polished to perfection.<\/p>\n Inside the case and under the dial is the timepieces\u2019s most visible feature, a pair of triple-axis tourbillons.\u00a0 Made of sandblasted titanium with the central part of the cages covered in black, as the cages rotate, recreating a full sphere, they show both matte gray and shiny black elements – reflecting the constant switch from darkness to light that authentically represents the Batman\/Bruce Wayne persona.<\/p>\n
\nTrue to the iconic Batman character, The Gotham City is dark, angular, pointy, edgy and muscular in its execution. The case is made of black DLC titanium, immune to scratching while the shape of the lugs is meant to resemble the Batsuit’s multi-faceted design. With every detail accounted for, even the crown is covered with a rubber band symbolic of the Batmobile’s tires.<\/p>\n
