This hand-produced pattern is in himself an outstanding achievement for any craftsman. But the really eye-catching exploit for any connoisseur is that for the first time in watchmaking, it is engraved in grade 5 titanium.

This material is already used in watchmaking – for its hardness. So engraving patterns on it is counter-intuitive, to say the least. And that was precisely the approach that attracted Yvan Arpa: “titanium is sold to us as an absolute, the epitome of toughness: resistant to impacts, corrosion, temperature, and so on. In actual fact, it’s simply a little more resistant than the reference materials we have always been used to, such as steel. And instead of machining it clinically, it can be worked with to produce a piece of art – as I have now demonstrated.”

Engraved out of Titanium Grade 5, more usually renowned for its outstanding hardness. The floral motifs draw inspiration from foliage pattern on historic gun stocks that inspired Yvan Arpa. The flying Tourbillon made especially for this shape by MHC for ArtyA has, as well, incredible back bridges in arabesque shape. The really eye-catching exploit for any connoisseur is that it is engraved in grade 5 titanium.

The Royal Arabesque Tourbillon has a 52.5 x 40 mm case. The piece is powered by a hand-wound Swiss-made mechanical caliber, regulated by a flying tourbillon with an outstanding three-day (90-hour) power reserve.

The watch is engraved with “Pièce Unique – 1/1”, and fitted with a hand-engraved tang buckle on a full-skin crocodile strap.

ArtyA – Minute Repeater, Regulator & Double Axis Tourbillon Edition

ArtyA – Complication Minute Repeater with 3 Gongs, Regulator &amp Double Axis Tourbillon Titanium Edition

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

Artya’s Most Complicated Watch Ever ... and a True Watchmaking First

There’s no question that there is a lot going on in Artya’s newest complication, expanding the brand’s Complications line, and that’s exactly how Yvan Arpa, founder and president of Artya, wanted it. “I wanted to do something completely different,” Arpa says. “Something special, something that the watch industry has never seen before. And we have done it, with a double axis tourbillon combined with a minute repeater with three gongs.”

The project was initiated when Arpa created the Son of Sound tourbillon and he started to think about expanding the collection to include a special minute repeater. Inspired by the exceptional sound of the famous Bo Diddley 1959 Gretsch guitar, Arpa designed a unique case to amplify the sound and show off the incredible movement, the mainplate of which looks like the Gretsch guitar.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The sapphire back of the watch even has a space-expanding bubble in the crystal to add to the volume of the sound, and to allow the tourbillon to turn on its second axis.

The minute repeater has three gongs – one to let the customer know that the minute repeater chiming system is engaged, one for the hours, one for the minutes and the two striking together for the quarter hours. The timber, the part the gongs strike, is specially designed for the case, winding through the movement and around the tourbillon cage.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

In fact, upon purchase, customers can even fine-tune the sound of the minute repeater to exactly fit their tastes, with the help of Artya’s master watchmaker.

The gong reserved for the start of the minute repeater is a first, and Arpa demanded it because he knew that many users of minute repeaters were cautious about handling their watches too roughly and don’t push the slide hard enough to engage the mechanism. “The minute repeater is an all or nothing system,” he explains.

“This way, the customer knows that he’s pushed hard enough to get the minute repeater started.”

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

 The tourbillon itself is very complex, turning on two axes – rotating in 60 seconds in one axis and in 30 seconds seconds in the other axis. The cage of the tourbillion is comprised of 50 parts using ten different materials to make it light yet strong enough for the operation.

• - ArtyA Minute Repeater  with 3 Gongs, regulator and Double Axis Tourbillon
• - The distinctively shaped gongs pass through the movement, generating an incredible sound entirely different to that which we are accustomed.
• - The design of the movement was inspired by the ArtyA Son of Sound collection, and in particular by a very specific guitar: the 1959 Gretsch Bo Diddley.
• - The sound of the minute repeater may be customised after purchase by adjusting the gongs and the timbre.
• - The tourbillon composed of 10 different materials rotates in one minute on one axis and in 30 seconds on the other, making it a very spectacular sight.
• - Main materials used : quenched tungsten, titanium grade 5 and steel
• - Very specific timbre made for an incredible sound
• - Design & concept by Yvan Arpa, engineered by MHC

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The case itself is a work of art, using sapphire crystal on the sides, the top and the bottom, to showcase the movement on all levels and to allow for the sound of the minute repeater to be phenomenal.

The watch is powered by two barrels, one for the movement and one for the minute repeater. The first barrel is big, as the double axis tourbillon requires a great deal of energy to operate, while the barrel for the minute repeater is smaller, and the spring is charged when the slide is activated.

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The time display is a nod to the tradition of watchmaking – a regulator display was the ultimate in precision, as watchmakers used the large minutes to regulate the watches they were working on. In addition, the regulator display allowed Artya to keep the watch wearable, as a regular hour and minute hand would have made the case too thick and bulky, to allow the hands to pass each other.

The movement has been realized by complications specialist MHC, and the production and assembly requires over 1,000 hours of hand work to complete.

The new 3 Gongs Minute Repeater, Regulator & Double Axis Tourbillon is a first for Artya and for the watch industry. A masterpiece of sight and sound on the wrist.

ArtyA – Arabesque Tourbillon

ArtyA – ARABESQUE Flying Tourbillon - Pièce Unique NEW

Here’s exactly why it’s exceptional:

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...         FOTO

Firstly, there’s the way the case have been made – engraved out of grade 5 titanium, more usually renowned for its outstanding hardness. The floral motifs draw inspiration from foliage patterns on historic gun stocks. The watch is made from as-cast titanium and inlaid with 18-carat gold.

Secondly, the ArtyA-manufactured flying tourbillon has bridges that  have been cut into multiple layers of carbon fibre arabesques.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...           BIG FOTO

Is it still worth pointing out that this is something all-new from ArtyA, a first in watchmaking, and a creation that will probably inspire many imitations? Yes and no. Yes; because quite simply, this is indeed the case. But then again no, because the unique watch being announced today is typical of what the brand – one of the most creative in contemporary watchmaking – does on a daily basis.

Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...           BIG FOTO

Even so, even the keenest ArtyA fans are likely to be in for a surprise: the piece unveiled by Yvan Arpa, the brand’s CEO and Creative Director, is based on a rectangular case format that is completely new to ArtyA. His name is a reflection of his uniqueness: “Arabesque Tourbillon”.

A first: a 100% titanium case, hand-engraved, contrasting techniques that deliver extraordinary result.

This hand-produced pattern is in himself an outstanding achievement for any craftsman. But the really eye-catching exploit for any connoisseur is that for the first time in watchmaking, it is engraved in grade 5 titanium.

This material is already used in watchmaking – for its hardness. So engraving patterns on it is counter-intuitive, to say the least. And that was precisely the approach that attracted Yvan Arpa: “titanium is sold to us as an absolute, the epitome of toughness: resistant to impacts, corrosion, temperature, and so on. In actual fact, it’s simply a little more resistant than the reference materials we have always been used to, such as steel. And instead of machining it clinically, it can be worked with to produce a piece of art – as I have now demonstrated.”

Inspiration

The choice of arabesque patterns is a highly personal touch by Yvan Arpa. “I got the idea from a western,” he explains. “I noticed the engraved stock of a rifle. The patterns were perfect. I drew some patterns in the same spirit then validated the model and procedure with Tech Graving, a former partner of the historic Liege School of Gunsmithing, founded in 1897 and an authority recognized worldwide for its expertise in this field; they went on to fashion this outstanding watch.”

The arabesque motifs on the watch were so difficult to work on that the chisel used by the master engraver had a life expectancy of just 120 seconds. Every two minutes, it needed replacing to continue the engraving – which required over 100 hours of relentless work. The final result stands in the age-old tradition of royal gunsmiths.

Hot and Cold
The watch is imposing and solid, made from pure titanium with hand-made engraving, featuring inset gold in its motifs, made exclusively for ArtyA by craftsman Bram Ramon. These hand inlays give a unique brightness to the watch – a combination of as-cast titanium and warmer gold. On the back, the bridges of the watch are machined in layered carbon fibre – equalled only by titanium in toughness. As a result, the rear side of the decor is fully in keeping with the dial side.
The Arabesque Tourbillon has a 52.5 x 40 mm case. The piece is powered by a hand-wound Swiss-made mechanical caliber, regulated by a flying tourbillon with an outstanding three-day (72-hour) power reserve.
The watch is engraved with “Pièce Unique – 1/1”, and fitted with a hand-engraved tang buckle on a full-skin crocodile strap.
