The Gargarin Tourbillon, a limited edition of just 50 pieces in total, was developed and manufactured completely in-house. It celebrates Yuri Garagarin's historic exploit when, on the 12th of April 1961, he became the first man in space and the first to successfully orbit the earth and return safely to earth.

The dial of the Gagarin Tourbillon is hand-engraved in solid gold with the colour of the oceans either in galvanic blue or black, with a scintillating outer dial in synthetic black diamond. An integral magnifying glass ensures that all details of the dial and tourbillon can be fully appreciated. The movement is fully developed and manufactured in-house.

The flying tourbillon orbits anticlockwise (east was the direction of the flight) around the dial in 108 minutes (the duration of Gagarin's flight) and appears to be support by an elegantly curved arm which was inspired by the by the large (25 m) commemorative statue at Gagarin’s landing site near Engels. The letters VOSTOK (meaning east and the name of Gagarin's capsule) features vertically around the tourbillon cage.
