ANTOINE PREZIUSO – Tourbillon of Tourbillons Limited Edition

ANTOINE PREZIUSO – Tourbillon of Tourbillons Limited Edition NEW

THE TOURBILLON OF TOURBILLONS
The Greatest Invention of the 21st Century

Watchmakers are continually striving to perfect the tourbillon, notably by improving its rotation system. The tourbillon is a remarkable technical accomplishment – and a 'visible' complication that never ceases to fascinate. This tiny cage, revolving like a planet (in the 18th century, the word 'tourbillon' referred to the movement of the stars), also enables the dial to feature a host of geometric and transparent effects.

The new timepiece was conceived, designed and produced by Antoine Preziuso in collaboration with his son Florian. It combines rigour with technical perfection, and is protected by three international patents.

It has been the focus of the reflection and research undertaken by Antoine & Florian Preziuso in recent years. The result: the new Tourbillon of Tourbillons, showcasing a complication that embodies a savoir-faire derived from 35 years of independent watchmaking.

The genius of the design lies in its three tourbillons on a revolving plate, whose combined effect is to grant the watch greater precision whatever the wearer's position.

The Tourbillon of Tourbillons gravitates and resonates around Antoine Preziuso's new design.

The hand-winding mechanism of the caliber “AFP-TTR3X” arms a twin-barrel that ensures optimal efficiency and a generous power-reserve. The last wheel and pinion of the going train drive the heart of the system via a central, planetary triple-differential gear which, in turn, drives a revolving plate bearing no fewer than three tourbillons. Each tourbillon is placed at an equal distance from the centre of the plate, with their respective axes forming an equilateral triangle.

Each of the three tourbillons completes one rotation around its axis every 60 seconds; it takes just 10 minutes for the revolving plate to complete a revolution with the three tourbillons around the dial. The foremost factor that guarantees precision: the respective frequencies of the three balances keep step with each other thanks to the resonance achieved by the proximity of the tourbillons. These tourbillons oscillate at a stable frequency.

Five Tourbillon of Tourbillons timepieces will be available in 2015 – with a case version « Power GTS » Gold - Titanium and Steel. The design is light yet robust, with gold support columns and detachable horns in solid 18-ct gold.

The new case is reinforced by 24  ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE’s  « Power » screws, and has 45 components tooled in the block, providing utmost solidity and ensuring the timepiece is perfectly waterproof.

The Tourbillon of Tourbillons unquestionably marks a new episode in tourbillon’s history – and one of the most glorious. Apart from the tremendous advances it embodies in terms of innovation and chronometer manufacture, the magical choreography of the three tourbillons on their revolving plate will amaze all who see it.

Often considered the supreme horological complication, the tourbillon remains a constant source of fascination. Antoine Preziuso has made it a speciality and now introduces a stunning composition protected by three patents. Working with his son Florian, the independent master-watchmaker has placed three tourbillon carriages on a rotating platform and this association endows the watch with unique precision in all wearing positions. Each of the three tourbillons performs a complete rotation around its axis in one minute, while the entire rotating platform, driven by an original triple planetary differential, requires just 10 minutes to make a complete revolution, with the tourbillons forming a triangle in the centre. A token of ultimate precision, the frequencies of the three regulating organs are attuned to each other by the physical proximity of the tourbillons oscillating at a stable frequency. Limited edition of five for 2015.

Brands
Antoine Preziuso, an independent watchmaker and designer since 1980 who graduated at the top of his class from the Geneva Watchmaking School and is renowned in the field of fine Swiss watch making, created his brand in 1996. He can be credited with many patents including most notably the famous 3Volution, a three-cage tourbillon movement. He is a member of the AHCI (the Horological Academy of Independent Creators) and an apprenticeship supervisor. The philosophy of ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE is based on three main values: independence and creativity, with passion as the driving force behind them.

These are the three values that explain the whole structure of the company, as well as its strategic choices. Benefitting from absolute freedom in creative and commercial terms, the watch range can be diversified in an entirely unrestricted manner, through daring to explore new technical and aesthetic solutions and using rare materials such as meteorite. Likewise, the brand’s resolutely high-end positioning enables it to maintain limited production, and thus absolute control over quality, as it relates to the watches themselves as well as to customer relations. Customers are therefore offered a totally personalized service, offered by one set of passionately enthusiastic individuals to another.

Finally, the structure of a company such as ANTOINE PREZIUSO GENEVE, composed of a small team of highly qualified professionals, ensures unrivalled reaction times, in terms of delivery as well as after-sales service. It is by building on these assets and qualities that the Antoine Preziuso Genève brand intends to expand its point-of -sale network in the medium term, based on the current model of a limited number of well-established stores in every continent.
