Technically, the four tourbillons offer a spectacle of astonishing elegance as they perform an ethereal, perfectly choreographed ballet, connected to a spherical differential, they contribute independently to obtaining a precise and reliable timing rate, especially in stable positions. The spherical differential transmits the average timing rate of the four tourbillons, thus improving the chronometric performance of all the regulating organs.

In view of the impressive number of individual elements making up the movement, the case has been sculpted with an asymmetric form. An asymmetry that forms an aesthetic reflection of the asynchronous dynamic of the four tourbillons.
