 Under Escape II sapphire crystal dome lays a fascinating mechanism featuring a double Spherion. The Spherion’s inner cage housing the balance wheel makes a full revolution in just 8 seconds, the second cage completes its revolution in 16 seconds, while the outer cage rotates in 30 seconds, which makes it the fastest triple axis tourbillon in the world !

A watchmaking feat that only Purnell has been able to achieve to this day thanks to the genius of its Master Watchmaker Eric Coudray.
